Just needed to vent a little bit.

On the phone with my boyfriend today, and we have a special event planned in a few weeks with him & his wife, my husband, and myself. Basically, a double date if you will. He just told me for the night of the event, he booked a hotel room for himself and his wife for the night of the event so they can spend some time just the two of them. They are just barely coming out of a rough patch, and could surely use some quality, romantic alone time. They will be staying with us the night before the event, and just going off themselves to the hotel the night of the event.

Great! "That will be so nice for you guys! You guys need a romantic night together" I said.

But,

Inside, I am feeling totally gutted. Ugh. Not sure why. They have not had a kid-free weekend for just the two of them since before Christmas. So, I SHOULD be happy for them. And they need some time with each other to help themselves reconnect and rebuild their relationship together. But I am upset that my husband and I weren't invited. \Sad Face**

Anyhoo, off to build the bridge I need to get over it and have a happy face for the night of our double date that ends with us going home empty handed! Chao!

Edit: Both advice and commiseration is welcome.
