The Trip and The Party (dream occurred 8/8/19) in dreams

My husband goes away on a week-long trip with a woman he just recently met to decide if he wants to stay married to me. The woman’s name is Brittani. She went to high school with him, but does not represent anyone he actually knows in real life. I stay with his family and friends at a big event that lasts about as long as his trip. The only people out of his friends and family that I recognize from real life are his parents. The days long event is somewhat analogous to a convention with a bit of family reunion and wedding reception thrown in. Some activities are a banquet, a dance party, and casual gatherings with various groups of people around conversing. During all these activities everyone in attendance knows about my husbands and my problems with our relationship. They also all know where he is and with whom. At these various events I gradually gain more information as to who my husband is with, why she is a better fit for him. I also learn how he feels about the marriage at present and the actions, attitudes and effort I am (or am not) bringing to the relationship. I find these out through over hearing, direct group conversation or one-on-one advice. The environment isn’t hostile, just that everyone’s mood is ‘fix things or get divorced’. I don’t remember all the specific things touched on that I was deficient in. The main things were that I wasn’t emotionally there for him, not affectionate, don’t say I love you, don’t show interest in how his day was, etc. Brittani (I learned) was quite proficient in all the ways that I was deficient, not to mention that she was far more attractive than me. I had never met her before so had no way to verify any of the things described about her. Up til now all the events felt like they were taking place in a hotel. The last part of the dream occurred at a family home. It wasn’t one I recognized from real life, I just was given that sense. It was a big group dinner. Here for the first time the mood of the room did feel awkward with my presence. At the dinner there were a couple of babies that my husbands parents were apparently taking care of. They seemed to be struggling to manage them, no one else was helping them. I got the impression that they normally would have asked for my help in this situation but intentionally did not because of the issues between my husband and me. At some point during the dream I got myself confused about who he was with. I hear the name Brittani, but my brain changed the name to Chetney (a girl a few grades below me in high school in real life) Discussions about how they knew each other got me confused because I didn’t know how they could share similar experiences when they grew up in two different places. I was able to stop and iron out the discrepancy in my head and readjust the identity of the person my husband was with.
