Well, he won't go to the retro this weekend. He didn't like feeling like it was 'sprung' on him.
I talked with one of the local retro people and she suggested that we could go to the Portland one in October if the timing for this one really was the problem for my H. ... I asked him if he would have agreed to go with 3 weeks notice and he said yes. So, then I suggested the one in mid-october in Portland and he agreed to go.
To quote Wimpy... "I will gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today".
If he actually goes, I will be astounded. Bottom line is, he isnt going, because he Doesnt Want To Do Any Work on your Relationship.
You said his decision on this was going to be the deciding factor for you to pick something. But once again, you've let him off the hook?
Bet you dollars to donuts he'll find an excuse for october. There are only two questions left:
1. What are you going to do when he doesnt go? 2. Are you actually going to follow through on whatever you decide to do this time?
