so. My girlfriends had arranged my first night out after pregnancy and BFing on Saturday, DH said he would be home for 7 to take over (he was out having food). It got to midnight and he still wasn’t back so I just sat there crying as I was so looking forward to it. When he got home at night night the girls were asking me to still come out, so I smartened myself up and went. A comment that he made to me was that if I don’t have any expectations I can never be let down? It’s playing on my mind

I just can’t understand why he doesn’t think he has done anything wrong and asked me why I was upset. Why doesn’t he know what he did?

That is a horrible nasty thing to do and a disgusting way to speak to you. He should be ashamed.

ThePoshUns · 28/09/2025 19:26

He’s a selfish pig. No excuaes.

I'd be livid if a babysitter did this let alone my husband

Why are you with someone so selfish?

Shaniah · 28/09/2025 19:25

Surely you have expectations of the person you share your life with? I just don’t understand that comment at all and it is really playing on my mind. What he did was cruel and he didn’t even care, he came in and asked me what I was crying for as he is here now.

So what counts as ‘expectations’ for him? That he will keep his word? As in your marriage vows? As in being a good dad? As in what exactly? How low is the bar?

He can’t even come home on time to let you have a few hours out of the house. He’s a horrible person isn’t he?

I wouldn't be crying I'd be absolutely livid . . .

QuirkyHorse · 28/09/2025 19:23

Wow, what a piece of work.
Good for you for still going out.
Do you actually like/love him?

TheChosenTwo · 28/09/2025 19:22

I can’t believe he did that to you. What a selfish inconsiderate prick 😱

INeedAnotherName · 28/09/2025 19:21

He's abusing you. Look it up on Relate, Refuge, Women's Aid or even your local council. Read it, understand that it's not you, understand that you deserve better, leave.

Control freak-he did that on purpose-what a wanker.

Worriedalltheday · 28/09/2025 19:19

Horrible man, I’m glad you still went out

Lj8893 · 28/09/2025 19:18

I would be fucking livid

Linenpickle · 28/09/2025 19:18
