[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is never any obligation to attend last minute plans. Full stop.[/quote]

I feel that there is an obligation between spouses, when both are invited to a last minute thing, to discuss each spouse's preference regarding that event. It's not appropriate to just say, "Nah, I don't feel like going" and think that's the end of the conversation about a family invitation.[/quote]

I don't know.  I look at this way.  If she had convinced him to go and he acted a complete ass or kept to himself, it seems like OP would have still been embarrassed.  She wanted him to go and be as happy to be there as she was.  I get the sense they have not been married long.  20 years in my DH (who is an introvert) has sucked it up at plenty of my family events (his parents are deceased).  That's the part that is missing from the OP - does he regularly attend her family events without a fuss.  Because now, all my DH has to say is "I don't really feel up to going this time" and I never mention it again.  He has earned that pass by regularly going. [/quote]
