Partner hasn't socially distanced tonight

Ever since we were allowed to go and sit in other peoples gardens during lockdown, I've been up my parents house when the weathers been nice in their garden most days with my 5 month old.
My partners at work all day so it's where I spend most my days when it's not raining just for some company and for my baby to get to know them, even from afar!
Mostly every time he's got home from work he's questioned 'did you stay outside? Have they had a hug yet?' Which my obvious answer is no, even though my parents are so excited for when they can, we have all stuck to lockdown rules.
He's gone out to his friends garden tonight for a few beers, I thought he would be home as he can't stay out in the garden all night! But have just seen on Snapchat (Hmm) that he's in the house and he's still there at the minute! Am I right to be annoyed at what he's done??

How can you spend all day at their house without going inside? Where do you change DC's nappy? Where do you use the toilet?
If you both agreed you would not go in other houses then you have every right to be annoyed. If you just assumed and didn't talk about it then you need a conversation about what you both think and what happens going forward.
It sounds as though he might be annoyed that you are spending so much time away from home so has stayed out as tit for tat.

If he’s at work all day I would expect social distancing isn’t possible then. Not many work places can do this, so why is he more likely to catch it from this one night?

I couldn't get excited about that. I'd be more bothered hes still out drinking at this time of night.

It's hypocritical. I'd be annoyed too. Probably the alcohol has reduced his judgement.

Thepigeonsarecoming · 20/06/2020 04:04

@MorningNinja do we have a curfew in place? Are people not allowed to stay up late? Wait aren’t you and I also up late? Have you honestly never been somewhere and came home in the early hours?

Just relax. Discuss it together tomorrow. No point falling out over it.

@Thepigeonsarecoming, I'd be pretty annoyed if my DP was out drinking gone 3am when we had a 5 month old to take care of. Different folks, different strokes and all that but it is MY opinion (I thought that's what the OP was after) Hmm

Of course we are both awake. Doesn't mean we've been out on the piss.

@ATomeOfOnesOwn she probably changes the baby on a changing mat on the ground and visitors can use toilets.
