how would you deal with this: work colleague (prof same campus) invites you over with a bunch of other profs for sunday night bbq, but doesn't explicitly invite your dh and dc. you cannot tell if this is a work function or what but you know most people if not all are single and childless. you'd like a night off from your dh anyway. do you ask, are my dh and dc invited? or do you go for it and ditch the dh for the evening? then, how do you describe the evening to dh who may be offended?

be honest w/ dh... tell him that you're not sure if families are invited, but you'd like to do some networking while you're there, so you'd like to go alone. he should understand.
