Upside,
I think if you don't want to spend time with H's friend, don't go. I definitely wouldn't want my one weekend in months away with H to be shared with someone I'm not keen about! With any luck, there will be another time for you to get away with H. Of course you will want to thank your H for the invite regardless.

That's my 2 cents' worth! ;\)

Peace,
Dawn
