Pretty much that
Today he has just gone around the pool talking to everyone.
I have been in the pool but then I got out to get some shade.
i have asked him to spend some time with me and he just said “you know what I’m like,I like to talk to people”
I said I know that,and you talk to people of course
Can you spend time with me too?
Fell on deaf ears
He is still in the pool talking to everyone
Would it bother you ?

The OP has started several threads about him. He drinks and gambles and is a waste of space.

God knows why she married him.

Ahh I missed the gambling bit.

Oh dear…. 😬

Just not getting it are you? If it was only him talking to other people OP might not be posting but there is so much more if you read the OP's honeymoon thread for the jest of background.

Read my post again. I think I got him perfectly just from the information given on this thread. And I'm not generally so interested as to go delving into posters' other threads for background information. Who does that? 🤔

Who does that?

People who notice a theme and feel they have been suckered into giving support, advice, etc. time and time again and OP just abandons their thread without a thank you but keeps coming back to complain about her partner/husband. That's who 😊

I wish my DH was this sociable!!

BaconAsparagus · 03/07/2026 09:09

Yes i would mind!! Absolutely!!

Especially because my partner ALWAYS invites me even if he does not need to. He says we are a Unit and sure we do stuff away from eachother but if we are in the same place - my partner would not leave me for 5 hours while chatting away to randoms.. my guy literally be like, let me check on my missus, she's cool you should meet her . We have been together 15 years, married for 11 and he would never leave me for 5 whole hours without coming to see me - even just to pat my behind as he walks past or a kiss on my head or hand. Sorry ur guy is a total ass OP. If he more interested in the randomers maybe point him in that direaction to lay his head - your not just his shag toy! He has a bloody cheek leaving you so long and ur both on holiday!! Please tell me he paid his share of the holiday Op..

I thought from the title he has flown back home without you!

@inkyspellsyou made a post last week about being on honeymoon and your husband was off boozing all day. Now you are away with a partner who is randomly leaving you by the pool.

you are disingenuous or a troll. Which is it?

Reads as if a 13 year old has composed this message for devilment during their school lunch break.

I've no doubt this exact scenario is playing out for some poor woman somewhere in the universe, but I'm struggling to believe this post is genuine.

(....And what the dickens is a "drink up pool" anyway?!🧐)

Why start a new thread and not just update the honeymoon one?

Mcoco · 03/07/2026 14:58

How long have you been married for? My husband tends to talk to people on the beach but he is italian and italians seem to talk to anyone! Not as long as 5 hours though. I am sorry for you as its upsetting you. I am mid fifties now so it wouldn't bother me at all. But I think it would have done in my younger years!

100%, plus we often recall usernames if a post is particularly memorable.

I think it's so rude when people ask for advice and then just skip away... it's using the good nature of others.

I think this poster has very much made their own bed and is now lying in it.

As they are on their honeymoon I would guess that they haven't been married very long.

Opps didn't read it properly! In that case no he should definitely be spending more time with you OP.

Why would you sit there for 5 hours waiting on him, couldn't you not entertain yourself instead of getting vex on holiday, you could have booked a spa session, read a book and have a drink, instead you made yourself miserable and probably tried to make him feel miserable too for 'leaving you'.

Cosyreader1 · 05/07/2026 10:20

My ex was exactly the same...extremely sociable (especially after a drink), would talk to every person in the pub/round the pool/at a party etc and i would often be left sat on my own. I'm much quieter and that's just not something i do. In some situations it would bother me but on holiday I can happily just sit, relax and read a book in peace and this is exactly what I did on a few occasions last time we went. I even went down to the beach on my own. However, I think that needs to be balanced with spending time with you...I wouldn't want to spend the entire holiday like that.

Cheshireguy · 05/07/2026 12:26

I would only worry if you were on a caravan site (swingers) or if he wanted to go on holiday on his own that is a massive red flag
