[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope OP returns and tells us if DH knew about the week in WV. [/quote]

DH confessed that he was involved in the planning, this was supposed to be a surprise. 'It's so hard to get everyone together, we can go to Florida any time'. :roll:

[b]I told him I am taking DCs and going to FL to celebrate my day. [/b]If he wants to come - great. If he'd rather spend time with his parents and siblings - fine too. I don't get a ton of leave, I am a frontline worker. Once a year I want my birthday to be about ME, not about someone else's feelings.[/quote]

If my spouse planned a birthday party for me and people spent a lot of money making it happen, it would be world war 3 in my house if I refused to show up.  I wouldn't do that to my spouse, but if I did, it would not go over at all.  [/quote]

If my spouse planned a family reunion and tried to pass it off as a party for me that required me to cancel a vacation we had both agreed on, there would be WW3 in my house.

The husband is planning a party to celebrate himself with his family. It’s his family reunion.

There are no guests that the OP wants.

It’s not even the location that OP wanted.

He’s throwing himself a party and writing her name on the cake to pass it off as a gift for her. And he wants her to give up her vacation to make it happen. And he probably wants her to thank him for it in front of everyone. This would piss me off so much. If I was bullied into it, maybe I could last a couple days, but we would definitely be having a huge fight by the end of the week. If OP does last the week without blowing up, she risks everyone loving the reunion so much that they do it again next year!
