[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that you’ve set this up as your only opportunity to get dressed up and go on an “elegant” date. No company holiday party should be the highlight of any couple’s year. You’re an equal partner in this relationship. Why are you both going out on dates throughout the year? Why aren’t you getting dressed up for dates? [/quote]

Nah, don't turn this around on the OP as if it's her fault her husband made up a stupid story (these parties are for employee bonding? Seriously?) to tell her he didn't want her there. She should have spoken up initially when he said that, because his weirdness around this annual party deserved to be pointed out and her feelings should have been expressed instead of shoved down, but it's not just about "I want to dress up and this is the one time I year I can." It's about "My DH says he has to entertain me, which makes me feel I'm in the way/an embarrasment." That's a bigger issue that more date nights won't resolve. [/quote]
