He rang at 9:30pm. The house phone is on silent after 8pm as youngest DC is a light sleeper. I was upstairs chatting to DC and trying to get them to go to sleep. I didn't see that he had called til 11:30 (when I was on my way to bed) and he had left a shouty message saying to "for God's sake, answer your phone" he was phoning to confirm an arrangement to meet up the following day. I text him at 11:30pm saying I'd ring in the morning and when I did (at 8:30am) he shouted at me again for not answering my phone. I said I was busy with DC he says you should have your mobile with you - what if it's an emergency . Well I live several hours away from them so it wouldn't be me they'd be expecting to rescue them. When we met up he wouldn't look at me and only spoke to tersely answer my questions. We lasted 5 minutes before I said goodbye and left. It is likely he will not speak to me for months now. I am so upset. We have never had a good relationship - he has always given the impression that he thinks I am stupid but he is loyal and supportive in other ways (practical ways like fixing my car, filling my oil tank in winter, and so on) but to be honest I don't feel good about myself after any dealings with him. I don't know what I hope to achieve by posting this but I am so upset by this, I don't want to have to deal with him again.
