      I miss those bonfire get togethers. I had to give them up years ago but I remember  all the fun. I walked away from many  a bonfire with a fresh hickey on my neck :o) . Weird how that can happen and trying to explain them can be a challenge. I remember one Friday night we had one hell of a fire going. We must have had ten cases of beer and had just gotten started when the police showed up in the woods :o(  .  They said the neighbors complained about the noise. They left us go but they took all of our beer and put it in the trunks of their patrol cars. I guess they didn't want to make a mess right there in the street when they poured it all out ?
    Go out and enjoy yourself, have some fun. Your hubby will show up I'm sure, if he doesn't  . . . .go home with a hickey ;o)  .

  i hope you work it out. just have fun and if you are the only two by the bonfire.... dance naked by the moonlight! ;~)

  Sit your BOY TOY down when he's at peace and till him exacatacilly what you want and expect this BON FIRE to be like, and why. If he does not go along with your thoughts then you do all the inviteing yourself, or call the whole thing off!

  i agree with the rest here...this is one of those times that if he doesn't want to play nice just let him stay home and pout.

  I like option #3.  Been awhile since I got to go to a good ole' bonfire party.  The last one I was "at" I woke up the next day, in a bed, with a cat sleeping on my hip.  Thank goodness the host took everyone's keys when they showed up!  Hope you remember this advice for yourself and all concerned. 

  (a bonfire would be good here tonight.  Got my sweatpants, two pairs of socks, and my robe on.....where the heck did summer go?)

  CM - Yeah, the bonfires we've had in the past (minus the last one or so) used to be pretty fun, very fond memories.  As the years have progressed though, frustrations between various people built, and our party group sort of fell apart because nobody can get along with anybody.  Who knows what'll go on with the bonfire, I still haven't decided what's going to happen yet, but I know I won't be coming home with any hickeys unless they're self inflicted, lol.
  
  MMI - I'm hoping it turns around to be something we can do, together, and having fun.  I just know the way things go around here, and if we manage it to be just the two of us down there ... it will be because some dramatic, unnecessary thing happened between my husband and his brother and our friends ... and I'll probably be a little upset about it, which means I won't feel like partying with him, that's for sure.  That's what I'm worried about, as much as I want to just think 'It doesn't matter, do it and have fun no matter who is there.'  I'd probably wind up letting him burn the fire by himself if it came to that, and I'd go have fun elsewhere.
  
  Mixed - That's pretty much what's it down to right now, but because it was supposed to be 'his' bonfire, it doesn't matter what I want for it.  He just wants to be 100% in control which means he'll do whatever HE wants and if it happens to be to everybody else's disliking, well too bad, they don't have to be there ... and if they aren't going to be there, neither am I.
  
  Frags - Yup, one way or the other he's going to be alone to pout ... either sitting at home while I'm down at the bonfire with friends .... or standing watching the bonfire alone while I go do something fun.
  
  Wombie - Wow, sounds like you've been to some good bonfires, lol.  We do hold that consideration whenever we have a bonfire.  You can leave when ever you want if you don't drink a drop, and you can drink however much you want if you agree to stay or have a DD.

  MsStar - They certainly can be fun, as long as everything goes right before hand.  :-)
  
  Above - Pretty much.
