So relieved to be home from a shit night out

You know when there's a long anticipated/planned night out, and after a while you just can't wait to leave?

We went on a fairly casual night out, dinner and cocktails with another couple of couples, turned into too much drink on empty stomachs too early, slurring, bickering, people pushing arguments.

Fucking hell, maybe I've just become far too boring and homely in the last year but I absolutely can't be bothered with this drama. DH agreed. Maybe it's just people getting too overexcited when they haven't been out in ages, but our friends behaved so badly (all 40 odd).

I've never been so glad to get home, kiss my dog, put my pjs on.

Aw that’s a shame, especially when we haven’t been able to be out in yonks! Maybe next time have a dine in for 2 M&S?!

Why were they bickering?

One of the couples had had a drink at home before coming out.

Wife of couple 1 started bickering with wife 2 about the menu and a certain dietary preference that they don't agree on (carbs).

Me and DH we're really looking forward to getting out but tbh wish we'd saved £60 and just had film and take away.

I think we've all got FOMO after this last year.
And then high expectations
And then crashing disappointment

I suspect you're not alone !!!!

This is why I think the best nights out are the unplanned last minute ones.

I'm like this with all nights out. I'm very introverted, I don't go on nights out much and when I do i just suddenly hit a wall and want to get home as fast as possible even when others are having a great time.

I've got one of my best friends weddings coming up soon and Dh said we can sort a lift home from someone else who is driving but I'm booking a taxi as I know I'll want to leave way before it properly finishes

Sorry your night was a let down op
