[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -I have found reading over all of these responses interesting and they’ve also allowed me to look at it from a different perspective I am big enough to admit that even though his idea of a perfect Father’s Day by no means fit my perfect description tha[b]t I should have respected what he wanted, which, in a way  I did except for moving the lunch to a little bit later,[/b] so that we could all be together to make it just seems like this is a family day and I’m still baffled that the handyman’s visit trumped everything else

For the record, the handyman is a young guy. He’s not married, and his father’s back in his country for everyone who’s losing their mind over having him come over on a Sunday/Father’s Day no need to lose sleep over this.

I think what hurt me the most was that it seemed like he didn’t want to spend it with the family and I think frankly, it hurt my sons feelings. I was also extremely upset and embarrassed in front of this handyman that he spoke to me. That way he apologize several times but I still can’t Quite forgive him for that. We ended up making the best of things and the day ended up being OK but I still very much think he needs to go see a doctor. I truly believe he has a personality disorder of some sort. This type of behavior has repeated itself many times, and not just with me, but within his business, his relationships with other people, etc.

Thanks for the input. I must say I have grown to really dislike holidays. I hate the expectations that they come with.[/quote]

You did NOT respect his wishes, OP. You need to admit that, at least to yourself.

I agree that it is odd for him to prioritize the handyman visit over his son&family.

It is also unacceptable for him to act the way he did in front of the handyman.

You should have had the priorities discussion when your husband first said no to lunch. If he insisted on handyman visit, you should have just made plans with your son’s family with an invitation for your DH to join but no expectation that he would. [/quote]
