I let daisy know what I'm doing and ask if she wants to go. She says sure, and to ask my high school friend if he/wife want to go also. Since I'm doing that, I decide invite 2 other friends. All friends/co-workers are on board, except high school friend, have not talked to them yet.
I give them a call. Wife says that they hate watching fights at bar, but would prefer to watch it at someone's house on PPV, and that they would pay for half if we moved the venue to a house. So, I'm like.. Alright, let me see what the others say. I let Daisy know what had been said, Daisy says to invite everyone over and watch it here. So I let high school friend that we'll have it here, and they agree to come over. I let the others know, they agree to come over.
Ok, so plan is now in motion. I believe this was all decided on a Friday. Fight was next day. Daisy gets up and starts cleaning and gets the house tidy, while I go to the stores to get groceries/snacks/alcohol. Daisy cleaned from like 10am-4pm. She made the place spotless. I spent a few hours fighting with plebs to get supplies.
I get a phone call on my way back from high school friend saying that the wife has a headache and they won't be coming. It's 4pm. Prelims at 6ish, ppv at 9. We've literally bought all this food, ordered fight, cleaned house all day for something that was their idea. And then, we're paying $60 for the event and not getting it split with us. (Wasn't going to ask my other friends to pitch in, since I didn't lead with it the day before)
Pretty annoying.
Everyone else came over and good time was had, but bleh. Just out over $100+ and a ton of labor in cleaning, when we could have just went to a bar and have less stress of hosting.
Kristy, iyo: if GW has a headache, would you still go to said outing? Or vice versa? Or am I expecting too much for someone to leave their SO at home? I mean, Daisy and I leave each other all the time. We don't care.
Your story is parallel to what happened yesterday. Makes me so damn stabby.
GW doesn't get sick.
I have no problem with him and our littlest going away when I am sick, but if I committed to something I would drag my ass out for a bit and leave early.
