However, 'it just so happens to fall when I'll be 38 weeks pregnant with our first baby,' she said.
'I get that it's his best friend and he doesn't want to miss out, but I'll be the size of a house, unable to drive, [and] potentially going into labor while he's off drinking God knows what on a boat,' she wrote, adding that she told her husband that she would 'feel more comfortable' if he at least 'stayed in the country.'
The original poster (OP) said that her husband is now accusing her of being 'controlling and paranoid because 'first babies never come on time,' ' and that he also said she was 'trying to ruin his life.'
'He's 34 by the way, not 21,' she added.

'I'm trying to be fair and not unreasonable, but I feel completely abandoned at such a critical time,' the OP continued. 'If something did happen early and he missed the birth, I honestly don't know if I'd forgive him.'
'AIBU [am I being unreasonable] to say no? Or should I just let him go and hope the baby doesn't come early like he says?' she asked.
The vast majority of Mumsnet users said that they thought the OP's feelings were completely valid — and that her husband should reconsider his priorities.
'I think he should put you first and stay at home and not moan about it,' one person said.
'He needs to grow up. He's about to be a father. There'll be other weekends away,' said someone else.
Another person said, 'A man who says you are 'ruining his life' by asking him to prioritize the birth of his first child over a boozy weekend away is neither husband nor father material,' before asking, 'What on earth are you doing with this guy?'

'I'm sorry you are married to such a man-child. He sounds like a pretty s--- husband and father already. 38 weeks is very much full term, meaning baby could arrive at any time.

Will The Gilded Age Stage a Crossover With Downton Abbey in Season 4? ‘There's an Opportunity To,' EP Says
With the third season of The Gilded Age ending this Sunday, and the third Downton Abbey movie hitting theaters next month, we couldn't help but wonder… when the heck are these two Julian Fellowes-created franchises finally going to collide? It's a question we've been asking since The Gilded Age first premiered in 2022, but now that Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) has married into British nobility, the time feels more appropriate than ever. Come on, who didn't get Downton vibes from the Duke's house? More from TVLine The Gilded Age Boss Breaks Down Oscar's Tragic Outburst - Does Agnes Know the Truth About John Adams? The Gilded Age Shocker: Morgan Spector Was 'Thrilled' by Episode 7's Jaw-Dropping Ending House of the Dragon Adds Annie Shapero as Alysanne 'Black Aly' Blackwood in Season 3 'Well, obviously there's an opportunity to [stage a crossover], because they are both in England,' Fellowes tells TVLine. 'Things like the shooting season or whatever would incorporate many great houses for all of these families, as they would travel around England. We can bring about a conjunction whenever we wish, really, but we haven't got one planned yet, so we'll have to see.' To be fair, this is a much more encouraging answer than executive producer Gareth Neame gave us when we spoke with him back in The Gilded Age's first season. '[A crossover is] not in the thinking at all,' Neame says. 'It's a separate universe, but they're both fictions set in the 1880s. Downton Abbey, in its own fiction, was definitely there. A younger version of the Maggie Smith character would be living there, I guess. But it's not really planned.' A younger version of Smith's iconic Dowager Countess? Hey, he said it, not us. Wouldn't it be fun, if even as a fleeting cameo, to catch a glimpse of someone from the Crawley family on The Gilded Age? The first season of Downton Abbey began with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, meaning it takes place less than 30 years after the current season of The Gilded Age, which would put the Countess somewhere in her 40s. Just something to think about. Gilded Age fans, would you like to see the show collide with the world of Downton Abbey, even if it's just a nod? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.

Mural marks 60 years since town's UFO frenzy
A 20m-long mural has been created to mark 60 years since a string of UFO sightings in a town. The sightings, well-known among enthusiasts and locals, are known collectively as the "Warminster Thing" – and were accompanied by many strange sounds and experiences in the Wiltshire town in the 60s. A community Facebook group raised £1,000 to fund the spray-painted artwork in a car park, which covers another mural about the UFO phenomena created 10 years ago. Artist Paul Boswell included saucers, creatures and parts of the town where mysterious happenings occurred. Arthur Shuttlewood, a local journalist who documented the UFO experiences at the time, features prominently. Mr Boswell grew up in this part of the world. "Being young in the 80s and 90s, it was a bit of a thing around this area," he said. "We used to go up on Clay Hill and do UFO spotting. We'd go up there and sleep out there all night expecting to be taken away by aliens, when we were 14." Lesley Blain helps to run the Heart of Warminster community group. "The people of Warminster came up trumps," she said. "They've been so generous and this is the result. It's fantastic, we feel it belongs to the town." A ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the mural was carried out by Warminster's mayor, councillor Andrew Cooper. "I think whatever you do or don't think about the folklore that lies behind it, things like this bind a community," he said. "It enriches a community, it gives it something that perhaps other people don't have." Interest in the Warminster Thing has persisted since it became famous in the 60s – this month, there is a UFO conference scheduled in the town. The conference organiser, Stuart Dike, has been following the progress of the mural. He said people had approached him beside the wall, remembering the Thing. "I think we're going to get a combination of ufologists [to the conference] around the country but also people here from different generations that are very intrigued about the actual mystery that happened 60 years ago," he said. Speakers expected at the conference attended the mural unveiling, including John Hanson, a retired detective who has built up a large UFO archive. "What's vital is to record for posterity what people have seen," he said. "It's important because it's part of our history." Follow BBC Wiltshire on Facebook, X and Instagram.

Sydney Sweeney confesses she wasn't prepared for the emotional toll of fame amid political controversies
Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to the spotlight — but that doesn't mean she's comfortable living in it. The "Euphoria" star spoke candidly about the emotional toll fame has taken on her in an interview conducted just before the release of her controversial American Eagle "Good Jeans" ad "Privacy [is] huge," she said during an interview with The Times UK. "You don't realize how much that means until you lose it. I see all the time, 'Oh, they sold themselves, they knew what they were signing up for'. But 18-year-old me had no idea what she was signing up for." Now 27, Sweeney admitted the constant intrusion — from headlines to photographers camped outside her house — has become unbearable. "[It's] crazy," she said, referring to paparazzi snapping photos at her home. "None of it's real," she added about the media narratives surrounding her. And while Sweeney continues to skyrocket to fame, she confessed that her ability to trust others is shrinking fast. "I've always been guarded," she said. "Definitely more so now. You let few people in who you trust." The reporter who spoke with Sweeney additionally pointed out that the Hollywood actress appeared visibly tense during what was supposed to be a 50-minute promo stop for a new film and a string of brand deals. Her discomfort "verged on annoyance," according to The Times UK. The reporter also speculated that while her conversation with Sweeney took place before the American Eagle ad was released, her "wariness" could be due to backlash from earlier controversies – in 2022, she faced another round of backlash after posting photos from her mother's birthday party. In the photos, some party-goers could be seen wearing red hats that read "Make Sixty Great Again," which many assumed to be a reference to President Donald Trump. At the time, she wrote on social media, "An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions." The "Anyone But You" actress' comments come on the heels of her July American Eagle campaign. Sweeney broke the internet last month with a viral ad, as she laid down and fastened her jeans while saying, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color." The camera then panned up to her blue eyes. "My jeans are blue." The ad faced backlash after it was released, with some suggesting it had shades of "eugenics" and "White supremacy." According to Salon, the term "great genes" was historically used to "celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness." American Eagle released a statement on its social media Aug. 1, saying, "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone."
