The kids have spring break this week and because I couldn't take off work, my kids are home with a sitter. My DH and SS9 and SD11 are going away for the week, including Easter, to his mom's. My bio kids are going to be spending the holiday weekend with their father. So I made plans to have a girl's trip this weekend. When I told my DH where we planned on going (New Orleans), he immediately got angry and "hurt" and has given me the cold shoulder since. He says he's upset that we talked about going to New Orleans together and so he's hurt that I'm going without him. He also said that I have told him we couldn't go because I couldn't afford it. The difference is when I'm going with my girlfriend, I'm only paying for myself. If my husband and I went, I'd be paying for us both because that's how it usually happens. Am I wrong? I'm at the point that I don't care that he's upset because (1) I don't have to ask permission to go somewhere and (2) I pay the majority of the bills and mortgage. I'm not asking him to contribute anything. If I want to go somewhere and I'm paying for it, what right does he have to get angry? I'm not angry that he's taking his kids for the week to Michigan without me. Why is this ok for him?????
