Quote: It's actually happening very frequently. My BIL has season football tickets that various family members are using. They'll call the day before or even the day of the game to let my H know that they'll be staying with us and that they expect my H to go if both tickets are not being used. (He hates football.) If we have plans, we have to change them.
My BIL also has a 8 year old who plays on a competitive ice hockey team that plays tournaments in our town (usually on Thurs.-Sun.). The schedules are always released last minute. Again, even if we have plans, we have to drop them to go to each and every hockey game so the 8 year old won't be upset, plus meeting them for every meal for the 4 days. Last time, my H was extremely sick but still wouldn't tell them "NO."
why don't you try not dropping your plans, if h feels compelled to let them rule his life that's fine but why should you not do what you want?
