I really hate large groups of people, especially at "Parties." Always have, always will. My wife knows this. Even with this, when she has something to do with her job, I go, because it is important to her.
Last Saturday, we went to a BBQ sponsored by a law firm that her company uses. I didn't enjoy it, but it was her thing, so I didn't say anything. Just went.
This coming Saturday, we are to go to a Black Tie event. It is to raise money for a charity. The thing is, the expensive table is paid for by her company. Therefore, our going doesn't contribute anything to the charity.
The thing is, I have to get a Tux. I am to try it on this afternoon, in case it needs adjusted. I should have said something up front, but didn't. We have three checking accounts, hers, mine and ours. It was assumed, I would cover the cost of the rental.
Where the resentment comes in, and as I said earlier I should have said something to her beforehand, is that I am attending something I don't want to. I don't like large groups of people. I totally see this as being a $213.00 dinner.
Not looking for advice, just venting.
