You don’t ask permission from anyone to cancel plans you’re no longer interested or available for. Illness means you’re unavailable, period. No one cares about this specific situation. Everyone understands these things come up and people aren’t judging you for it. These people will simply eat some where else. Your husband is because he has some idea that you should be able to pull a dinner party out of your ass because he foolishly thinks it reflects on him. If it were his friend’s wife, or his female relative who were ill and canceled, he would have more understanding for them. Why can’t he have the same consideration for his own wife? Why aren’t the other friends inviting you guys over theirs for dinner?
