The neighbors took my husband to dinner, and I was left behind
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married more than 20 years. This afternoon, my husband came home and told me our neighbors had invited him out to dinner to thank him for helping them with their yardwork yesterday.
Usually, I’m at work in the afternoon, but today was my day off. When I asked him if I was included, he said, “No. Just me!” I felt bad but didn’t show it.
My husband came home a few hours later and began talking to our adult son about their evening as if I wasn’t there. When I asked why he didn’t tell them I was home and would’ve come along, his response was, “I knew you would somehow make it my fault that you didn’t come!”
I told him it didn’t look right that he was tagging along while his wife was left behind. Am I overreacting?
— MRS. LEFT OUT
