...you could have went to friends house, you didn't have to go to the game, I just asked so you wouldn't feel left out and the kids wanted you to go. Why did you go if you knew you wouldn't have a good time? She said it was fine, she's just worried about friend.
I do wonder why she even came.
This sounds similar to a recent situation with DH and me. DH and daughter were going to a college softball game. Not my thing -- I only marginally enjoy my daughter's games, and that's when I know her and all her teammates -- but I knew he wanted me to go so I agreed. Once we were there he sat on the other side of my daughter and they talked about the plays, while I was bored and wondering why I'd bothered to go. My daughter commented at one point that I didn't look like I was having fun and I told her I wasn't particularly. She asked why I came and I told her because her Daddy wanted me to.
I was not sulking, I was not ugly. I did send a few texts back and forth with some friends, so no, I wasn't all about the game, and while I did interact with my daughter, it was hardly quality time with DH. Fortunately, he was pleased that I was even there. Because I guarantee you if it wasn't enough just that I had gone but I was expected to be appearing to enjoy myself at his approved level, it would be a long, long time before I bothered to do another thing he asked me to.
