Just that really. We were out with friends, going back to theirs. Dh refused to back to theirs but I don't know why. The others left in a cab. I couldn't leave dh alone in the pub. I I said I'm going home. He said OK. Followed me out in a fit and angry, cos he felt obliged to follow me. He's walked home. I'm 2 miles away from homre and sitting in the cold shivering
He messaged me to ask if I got an uber home. I said no, he said good we've spent £x on uber tonight.

He's walked home and I'm sitting on the kerb, 2 miles away in the dark, cold.

Total drama!

Should have just walked home straight away or called a cab

@SwerveCity "I already said, despite how much of a twat they were BOTH being he shouldn’t have left. And no I wouldn’t leave someone in the early hours of the morning drunk and alone and I doubt most wouldn’t either. "
I hope you're right and we are in a majority. This thread would definitely suggest otherwise.

OP, I am glad you are home safe. However, if this is real then I'm concerned you are really not well.

This sounds very much a situation if your own making, and that you put yourself in harms way. You are upset that your partner didn't seem to care for your safety but YOU should be caring for your safety above all.

You could have gone with your friends and been perfectly safe.

You could have called an Uber of your own and been perfectly safe.

Or you could have walked home with your partner and been perfectly safe.

But you made choice after choice that meant you were sitting on a dark curb for an hour or more, considering sleeping there, then going on an incredibly cold long walk in the middle of the night. All to prove / protest against your partner not caring?

This is really self destructive behaviour and I'm concerned for you. Please stop putting yourself in harms way.

@SwerveCity
OP was free to walk with him/call a taxi but choose to behave like a petulant child. I think most of us would have left her, she sounds a right pain in the arse.

I already said, despite how much of a twat they were BOTH being he shouldn’t have left. And no I wouldn’t leave someone in the early hours of the morning drunk and alone and I doubt most wouldn’t either.
if something bad had happened everyone would be up in arms shouting why did he leave her.

Ty all. I am so so so cold. He clearly doesn't care I'm sitting on the kerb. I'm so upset at him. Our friends think it weird how he's acted

Grow up, you said yourself he’s drunk. And you’re acting like a brat. Walk home or get a taxi.

Wishfive · 16/11/2024 11:43

So bizarre, sitting out freezing to prove a point is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die you only hurt yourself.

Ytcsghisn · 16/11/2024 11:37

This thread is a great example of don’t believe all the sob stories you read on here. OP’s poor husband.

Ytcsghisn · 16/11/2024 11:34

And it’s 2 miles, not 200. Even if it was, unless you are in the Gobi desert, you will find your way home.

Ytcsghisn · 16/11/2024 11:33

MN is a strange place. Rather than walking home, OP is sat stationary, posting about it on MN. Do you expect someone on MN to come pick you up and drop you home?

A half hour walk or 5 min in a taxi!

Ok an easy walk then. Or taxi ride if too drunk.

mrpotatocat · 16/11/2024 11:30

My guess is that in your drunken state you decided it wouldn’t be fair on your husband to leave him in the pub by himself that late. Because you wouldn’t have wanted to. So you felt that was a nice thing to do, because he is your husband after all.

And then your drunk husband thought it was a bit silly, because he was absolutely fine and maybe you were picking a fight or it would come back to him somehow that you couldn’t go with friends because of him. It escalated and you felt he was a bastard for not doing the same to you as you did to him.

Next Friday just stay at home and watch Netflix. You are too old for behaving like this.

How much is 2 miles in km…around 3!?

I'm now sleeping the night on the kurb
He can see my location my clearly doesn't care

You're sleeping the night on the kerb when you have a home to go to?

Snoopybird · 16/11/2024 11:19

You’re not a lost puppy, why on earth were you shivering on the kerb?! 2 miles is not far, you could have walked home easily in just over 30minutes. Or just got a taxi. Talk about unnecessary drama!

AttendanceNightmares · 16/11/2024 11:18

In the time you were sat shivering in the cold you could have walked home or got a taxi. You are just trying to make him feel bad by pretending to be helpless which is pointless as he clearly doesn't care anyway. Also you could have left him in the pub. He's an adult as are you. He didn't leave you shivering in the cold you chose to. Don't let him drag you into silly games.

@Technonan I'm mortified that this thread has got so many posts. I only expected a few.

I've woken up with a v sore head. Not spoken to DH yet who is still in bed.

Morning feeling better this morning 🤣🤣🤣🤣

JustinThyme · 16/11/2024 11:11

Is that what you tell your kids to do to a mate?
My kids’ mates aren’t such idiots, @CurlewKate . They don’t reject assistance and insist they don’t want to be walked home after all because they need to sulk at the side of the road. Also they are young.

OP did this to herself. She, a grown up, middle aged woman, actively chose it in a drunken fit of martyrdom, having not gone with her friends nor walked with her husband.

There’s no helping some people.

After a nice fry up, some Rennies and paracetamol, all’s well that ends well.

@DoreenonTill8 "You'd honestly tell your child to pander to this attention seeking nonsense?"

No. I'd tell my child that he/she never had to see the idiot again, and they had a perfect right to be utterly furious. But you don't ever leave a person in a vulnerable position.

Is this a reverse? Are you the kerb?

I wouldn't tell my dc to place themselves at this apparent risk of sitting outside at fuck o'clock of night while a mate who had already told them to go away stropped and sulked on the kerb!
In that case I'd tell them to call the stroppy ones parents as they're clearly not mature enough to be out on their own.

Glad you got home safe.

Hope you get to have a calm and open discussion with your partner later when you’re both feeling a bit better.
