Is this a shitty thing to do?

DH had today off work, and needed the car. So he dropped me off at work (7mon car journey, 1hr+ walk along country lanes and hills) in morning and was to collect me at 4:30

I was looking every few minutes from around 4:20. My office looks onto the road.
It gets to 4:40, no sign. I WhatsApp him asking when he's due. Not read. I ring him, No answer. I start to get worried. Ring him on his work mobile, no answer. Eventually at 5:10, he WhatsApp me saying he was there are 4:25, and had waited 10 minutes, and then drove home...

I asked where he'd parked, because I had kept an eye out. He'd parked in the car park near reception, which is near my office, but you can't see it from there iyswim? (So how I was supposed to know he was there, is beyond me)

Reception was open and manned, so he could have asked them to ring me, as he didn't have his phone on him.


But no, he's being arsey because he thinks i should have been stood outside waiting for him at exactly 4:30...

Was that shitty of him to leave after 10 minutes?

He didn't ring/message because he'd left his phone at home by accident.

Yes it was shitty! It's not like you would have made your own way home is it, you were obviously still there. I would be fuming. How did you get home?

Well I'd be annoyed with him. Why couldn't he get out of the car and stand where you could see him?

Ok so he came back - maybe just a total div rather than a complete wanker. Was he apologetic?

I'm pissed off because I was worried about him being "missing" was I thought something bad had happened and tried to get hold of him.
And his reaction for me being "missing" is to fuck off and cop the strop Angry

Tbh, I would have been waiting outside/at reception for him. You knew he was coming at 4.30. By the same chalk, he must have known you were still there unless you get lifts from a colleague?
