I need an out from tomorrows gathering.

I just had an argument with my hubby and we have a family gathering tomorrow I really don’t want to go to bc then we have to pretend everything is ok. I’ve done it too many times and it’s not fun. What’s a seemingly legit reason I can get out it, if not completely, then to leave early bc we are supposed to spend the night. (Anyway I hate their dog even though I’m an animal lover. The thing sucks the life out of me the entire time.)

While he gets ready to go leave him a note saying you feel stressed and cant just go and pretend everything is ok again. Tell him to enjoy it and it's up to him if he passes that or or decides to tell them otherwise. Then leave the house and wait for him to go.

PRETEND, I guess, like we all do, particularly at sensitive times, to fulfill our committed roles.

@Grateful4you It may be the best thing. Unless, of course, it isn't.

@Grateful4you I’ve faked it many times - having a good time. I’m getting exhausted. Anyway, we are going to their house. They are not coming to ours. The dog is nice but has had no discipline ever and is on me licking my face constantly. It’s owners say “ oh just push her away” or “just tell her no” it’s not my animal! And I’ve done all that. It doesn’t stop! To boot, the dog wants to sleep with us not it’s owners which obligates us to it’s needs all night … including letting it outside in the dead of the night at a house I don’t even own.

@RedBaron for the record I’m at the gathering tolerating the company but things got contentious between hubby and I and It was uncomfortable. Fortunately the moment eventually passed but I thought another argument was on the horizon, which was why I didn’t really wanna come.

I’ve just been keeping my mouth shut and faking tired but it’s work to be here
