To be fuming with husband

Husband went on works night out at 2pm. He last messaged me at 5pm. His phone ran out of battery around 9pm. Heard nothing from him until he strolled in just now at 2:30..
we’ve got two little kids and he knew I’d driven them 2 hours away and back this evening for a Xmas event. Is it not bad that he had no idea we were ok and just waltzed in at 2am? Or am I being a cow?

Are you seriously not capable of going a few hours without contact?

He went out , you went out . His phone died. What was he supposed to do .

YABU. Why wouldn't you be ok? Presuming this is a one off, it's a Xmas party, people have fun and stay out. 2am really isn't that bad (I stayed out till 2 on the weekend, my DH said I hope you had fun!)

He was out for an evening out the world does not stop when a man or woman goes out for the evening

Do you worry that he's ok when he's not with you?

If not, why do you expect him to be doing that about you?

2am seems a reasonable time to be coming in after a night out. The phone dying is unfortunate, but most phone batteries would struggle to last that long.

Sorry but I think yabu

Of course you’re being unreasonable.

He was on his works Xmas do, had a few too many and his phone battery died. That is frustrating in this day and age but he came home to his family.

There’s no harm done really, are you going to divorce him over it? Of course not so why spend any of your time being “fuming” about something that you’re only going to forgive and forget about very soon.
