So - I had a hard time getting to a family engagement last night due to an irrational fear of being in the car.
As a result, my partner has gone out without me tonight, as I got ready, but just couldn't face the car journey.
The other day, my partner and I (our son is away on an activity holiday) went down to our village pub with our good friend and next door neighbour, who is divorced due to her husband's infidelity.
Our friend got quite drunk and was sort of coming on to a guy who also lives in our village (keep up, this is really insular! 
) ,
So we thought that this was getting a bit out of hand and took our friend home - but the bloke was quite up for being chatted up, and when my partner suggested phoning "Carol", his partner, (not her name) to come and join us, the guy said "No - she's busy" (their kids are away and she was at home doing some painting), and then with a wink "I've forgotten the number".
So now I've witnessed a "devoted family man" behave like that, AIBU to be worried since MY partner is out without me and not answewring the phone (I have only phoned once!)
