Superbowl related- WWYD?
So I was going to have some friends over to watch the superbowl. We have a small apartment so we can't invite a lot of people.
Dh has one friend A who really wants to watch the game with him. A and I recently had a big fight. We resolved things, but we sort of agreed to just co-exist. I haven't seen A since the day of the fight. So the compromise for superbowl sunday was we would invite another couple to come over who are also friends with A.
Well the girlfriend called and said her BF (R) could come over, but she can't. So it would be me, DH, A, and R. They all speak Hebrew and tend to forget that I don't speak Hebrew, so I get left out a lot.
I am so uncomfortable about having A in my house, and its worse now that I don't have anyone I can hang out with (I want to give DH his time to hang with his friends). I am just dreading this. 
I called some of my own friends but they all have plans, or babies who go to bed around the time the superbowl starts.
So what should I do? I can have DH call the whole thing off. Or should I just suck it up and deal.
ETA: I have money on the game, so I do want to watch it myself.

Re: Superbowl related- WWYD?
I would probably deal with it, BUT I would speak to my husband beforehand and let him know how I feel. I.E. Speaking hebrew and feeling left out.

Re: Superbowl related- WWYD?
I would go out.
put your daughter to bed (three men and a baby should be FINE!)
go out to a favorite spot...hit up a Barnes and Nobles..find a nice corner with a book or whatever floats your boat and relax.
go home whenever you are feeling sleepy, say goodnight, and go to bed...or watch the last few minutes...again, whatever floats your boat.
it's nice that you won't let your problems interfere with their friendship, but you should not feel uncomfy in your own home.

Re: Superbowl related- WWYD?
suck up and deal or maybe go spend time with your family and watch the game with them instead or something.
you can't join a friend at someone else's house that night?

Re: Superbowl related- WWYD?
I'd go out -
If you're into the game, I'm sure there's a friend's place you can go to, and if you're not into it, do whatever you want to !!
Everyone wins - DH watches the game w/ his buddies, you aren't held prisoner being miserable in your own home (and probably end up playing waitress), and you get to do whatever you feel like doing -

Ditto. And if you DO suck it up and stay home, have a long talk with Dh about the situation - he has to understand that he has to step up to the plate and ask that everyone refrain from speaking in hebrew, out of consideration for you.
I've been in that situation many a time, and I just don't feel comfortable saying anything. But thankfully, without fail, everytime someone starts speaking in hebrew, Dh will say in response, in english: "What??? I can't understand you" 
P.S. He even does it to his own mother

Nice. Dh doesn't do this. But I have. Lets just say R has been less than responsive.
Thanks for all your great suggestions.
I spoke to Dh and told him if none of my friends come, I'll go somewhere else to watch the game. I'm just not comfortable there with these 2 guys I have nothing in common with, one of which I can't really stand, sitting in my home speaking another language.
DH told me he already told A is probably not going to happen and it will just be him and me on Sunday. I told him whatever he wants. Its his choice and I'll deal with it.
