Quandary. Need help

[GROWLER]

Sis in laws 50th the end of next month. I like her, and get on fine when we meet.
 Her husband is a total and utter prick though, and I can't stand being near the scottish cocky slithery slimey get tbh.
What is it about people that falsely smile and 9/10ths close their eyes at the same time when they speak to you? He does it and it really hacks me off, bloody arsewipe.

Mrs GROWLER is always nagging me to try and be pleasant when we're all together like, but I just can't be. It's against my nature, and would consider myself two faced if I was even remotely pleasant to him.

However, I'm being 'asked' to go and celebrate her burfday at some theatre in Manchester at the end of next month to see............Peter Pan....WHHHHAT!?    .... and then go for a 'jolly' meal afterwards.
Apart from the fact that I can't stand being in his company, I can't stand going to the theatre either, especially to watch some shite that's meant for kids.

Mrs GROWLER is well unimpressed with my decision not to go, but I feel I should stick to my ground.
I've told her to tell her sis tomorrow, who needs to book the tickets pronto, that I won't be going simply because I can't stand the theatre, which is true in'it?

I'm flummoxed, and feel like vanishing tbh.
God I wish I was single sometimes....like now.

What am I going to do? Stick to me guns, or cave in and have a right old gob on?

[Barman]

You can't win either way but stick to your gruns guns... 

[Nick]

I agree with Barman. The whole thing sounds frightful. Call your SiL and wish her a Happy Birthday, but don't go!

[Barman]

I agree with Barman.

[Bar Wench]

<supportive> Stick to your guns </supportive>

<realistic> You need to weigh whether it is worth the long term hassle you will receive from Mrs Growler if you don't go. A few hours of misery and pain vs possibly weeks of shite. </realistic>

Bloody cheapskates who won't pay full price for a facelift. 



As for the other problem, the Snoopy and BM are right, but as you know it is the women you must keep sweet.

Call SIL and wish her well and apologise, she probably knows why anyway (or thinks she does).

Tell Mrs Growler you can't go because your demeanour (attitude) will spoil it for her and the tension will make you ill and finally tell her you will probably lay him out the first time he looks at you.

That should get the 3 main feminine motivational drivers in your favour:

1. You call on her empathy for an awkward situation
2. You bring out her maternal instincts for your health
3. You let her avoid something that would embarrass her.

Why am I desperately rummaging amongst Google images for a picture of Brown?

Errrr, specsavers beckon i think DS.

I tend to think differently.

1) You are married which means you should to be supportive of your wife. If she wants you to go then you go.

2) It would be churlish not to help celebrate your SiL's birthday just because her choice doesn't fit your preferences. You like her and 50 is a big birthday. Don't spoil it.

3) So SiL's hubby is a bit of a prat ~ live with it
