Sneak Attack!!

27th Feb 2025

Me and the little one are going to our hometown to attend a function tomorrow. Till now my partner has shown no interest whatsoever in the trip apart from the fact that she did not have any issues for the trip as long as she doesn't have to come along- she was going with her gal pals for trekking over the same days.. I thought, ‘Okay, so we are doing this and prepared accordingly.’ She was engrossed in her work the whole day and was ranting about her changing a project and how it would affect her career. I was thinking at that time, ‘You are making me listen to your rant, but never even once have you inquired about the difficulties I was facing when I was made to do the same thing’- and that is absolutely fine. I don’t complain about it as she does when I don't listen to these oral diarrhea. 

Then out of the blue, she suddenly asks- ‘Where are you staying?’ 

I said,  ‘ABCD resort’.

She exploded suddenly and said- ‘Oh!! When you go by yourself and parents you can stay in fancy hotels’. Initially I had no clue what happened then it clicked suddenly.

We had been on a trip around 25th December last year. I was tired of searching for accommodation. And my partner had her apartment in our hometown- in which her aged uncle lived by himself. Till the last day she did not give me confirmation whether or not we can stay at her place. Basically we do not want to disturb his convenience.

On top of that, Christmas and New Year time did not help- all the good places were overbooked. I went along with reviews on google and found a decent deal- not a great place but an airconditioned room with comfortable beds. Our little one was staying with my parents during that time so we needed a place just to crash. My parents were put up in a good hotel his friend- we had come down to attend his son’s wedding. Her in decisiveness had put me in tough spot and it was with great difficulty I found a spot to stay.

So without a batting an eye lid, she was like- Ok, how can you be happy without me being satisfied??!!

This is how it goes most of the time when she knows you are going to have a good time with your close family without her.
