to not pick DP up?

DP is flying home tonight, said I'd pick him up as the flight was at 7, arriving at 8pm. He messaged to say it was delayed and not leaving until 9, told him that was fine. He's just messaged to say flight not leaving until 11 so in at midnight. The thing is I've been up since 3 am for work and I'm knackered, he's got the hump because I've told him to get a taxi. Who IBU?

It depends slightly

Had he been away for 6 months saving lives and being heroic ?

A few days on business ?

A stag night and is going to arrive back stinky and smelly and pissed still ?

Perhaps they don't have a car each.

Go to bed, you don't need to be driving when you're exhausted.

I flew back from Spain recently. Flight was delayed by 5 hours meaning I didn't land til 0445. DH still picked me up from the airport, and then went to work. I'd have done the same for him. So I think YABU

A suitcase doesn't fit in my car. My skis and snowboard definitely don't. So just parking at the airport isn't an option for me. We also don't have a car each as we both work within 3 miles of home.

I'd have just had a nap and picked him up.

He is, and if you've been up that long you shouldn't be driving anyway. Go to bed and have a good sleep. He will get over it.

I'm undecided! Although part of that is because I can get by on a surprisingly tiny amount of sleep.
I'd like to think (if I didn't have small DC that can't be left) that I'd go.
But I don't think it's unreasonable of you to just go to bed. It's not like you're leaving him waiting, you have explained!

YANBU - I wish fewer people would drive when they have been up for over 20 hours, the roads would be a lot safer.

YABU. Have a nap then pick him up!

If he's got to get a taxi then you should at least pay for it.

why on earth can't he get a cab?
It's madness to have both of you so tired, and you won't be safe to drive anyway if you are so tired.

My DH flies a lot for his work.

He wouldn't dream of asking me to pick him up from the airport at midnight. That's what cabs are for.

You shouldn't have to pay for it either.

Go to bed OP. Sweet dreams Brew

I have to stop my OH picking me up at airports. He feels he absolutely should . I flew back into Heathrow at 5pm in the afternoon last month and we almost had an argument over it as my take is M25 at rush hour versus public transport take the same time roughly so there's no reason to put him out.

Depends on how far you are from the airport really though.

Meh, I'm very much in the 'sort your own travel arrangements' out camp. Unless you live a really long way from the airport and it's going to cost more than £80 for a taxi.
