I went to visit my older brother (9 years older) this weekend to see his new baby. He lives in Virginia, and is a HUGE Phillies fan. I knew I could get two tickets for this year through a contact, so I asked him if he would want to go with me, as DH hates live events. He was so excited and said he would LOVE to.
I looked at the schedule to see what home games they had on Saturdays in May, and they have two, so I e mailed him both dates to see which would work for him before getting the tickets. He responds back that it sounds great, and he’ll check with his wife and get back to me.
So he e mails me today saying, Would wife be able to come with us? I’d be nice if she could come as well, would it be weird the three of us going? I just said I wasn’t sure if I could get more then two tickets. He then tells me any Saturday game would work, but that her feelings would be hurt if he went without her.. she didn’t say that, but knowing her she’d be sad if she wasn’t invited.
When I spoke with him this weekend, and originally in the e mail, he had NO PROBLEMS it just being us. IDK what she said to him to guilt him into her coming as well, but the girl doesn’t even like baseball. I get you have a one month old, but I’m not in charge of your date nights, I thought it would be a nice time for me and my brother to just spend some time together.
I told him I could only get two tickets, and if he didn’t feel comfortable going I’d get someone else to go with me. I’m just so upset about it. Why wouldn’t she just say oh my gosh that sounds like so much fun, and with all the help with the baby, you need a night to just hang out and have fun…. IDK what she said to him, but it really has me pissed off. You try to do something nice for someone….
