Ladies why is it when men go out they forget that they have to come home 🤦‍♀️ my OH is out since 12 today at an occasion and I told him I’d pick him up in a few hours (I came home at 12) and I’m still waiting on the call to pick him up!! Texted him to know if he had a time in mind and he left me on read 😳🤨 I want to relax with a glass of wine and watch tv not be sitting here waiting on him! I’m so mad. Think I’ll just tell him to get a taxi at this stage right??

“As I’ve not heard from you and I too would like some evening to relax, i’ll assume you’re getting a cab. Have fun and see you later.”

It’s so disrespectful to just leave you on read.

You aren’t his personal taxi’

Absolutely! I don’t mind picking him up I’ve done it lots but ignoring my message is just downright rude

Never. We only have one car between us and he doesn’t drive it. It’s my car

Depends if it works both ways, as in if he picks you up on your nights out.

I am so mad at him. Like I get he’s probably having a good time but a quick reply wouldn’t kill him 😡

Oh that would frustrate me. I’d open the wine now and leave him on read

It's very rude of him not to respond if you know he's read the message.

Echo PP, set a time for him to respond by and do your own thing after that.

Do it - he’s bloody lucky

I’d message and say if I don’t hear from you before 730 just get a taxi and il see you at home. And at 730 open the wine!!
