[quote=Anonymous]I think he's just being clueless. You should tell him it's important to you that he's there and he'll probably realize that he was being an idiot by the end of the race.

I completed my first big endurance event earlier this year, and I really wanted my husband and kids cheering me on. I made plans for them to be there, and they came with no complaints, but I don't think my husband really understood that I wanted him there to support me and not just because it would be easier logistically (the race was out of town). They ended up missing the finish, which he later felt bad about.

My husband usually goes out of his way to do things for me, so I think in this case he just didn't really get what his presence there meant to me. All the training was sort of 'my thing' - so he wasn't nearly as invested in the race  and perhaps even felt a little extraneous to the whole experience. You're definitely not crazy for wanting him there, but he's also not necessarily a complete jerk for assuming he shouldn't come.
