to feel this way about DP staying out for the night

i kinda think i'm being a bit silly here but not sure... i'll try and be concise.
our DD is 5 months old and a bottle refuser, meaning i am unable to go anywhere or do anything at the moment. i have completely accepted this to be the case and i don't mind too much, i can live with not being able to go out for a while.

DP works shifts, pretty much always late ones. he knew he was getting off a bit early tonight so was going to meet up with some friends (mostly girls) for a few drinks. fine by me, no problem at all. he doesn't go out often so i'm ok with this.

however, i get a text not long ago saying he is now going to his friends house, so i call him and ask how he's getting back as its not on the right bus route. he says he might get a taxi or might stay on their couch, he's not sure. i must have sounded disappointed as he said i sounded miserable. i always seem to feel sad and anxious if he stays out and i feel that, being a father now, he should be responsible and come home.

i am slightly concerned as he was only saying the other day that he wants more excitement in his life and is a bit bored at the mo as he feels like all he does is work and doesn't get much time to see his friends any more. i explained that we have a young baby and that's generally what happens for a while.... i don't want him to feel like he cant go anywhere but i really would prefer him to come home tonight rather than tomorrow. AIBU?

haterz

AnAirOfHope · 09/06/2012 19:39

my opioin is that is disrespectfull to his partner as it wad not prearranged.

OP is happy with the outcome so thats fine.

Also hate is a very strong word i resver only for convicted criminals.

Just pulling your leg AnAir.

ashesgirl · 09/06/2012 19:44

You seem an alright sort Zigzag :-)))

I dunno, it obviously bothered the OP enough to post about it in the first place and she said she felt anxious and sad when he stays out, (which confused me a bit as it sounds like it's rather a more frequent thing).

Glad it all turned out ok, just want to chip in that it's fine not to feel 'cool' about your partner staying out all night with some promiscuous women.

ashesgirl · 09/06/2012 19:45

promiscuous should have been in quotes by the way!! Have no issue with women wanting sex - hey I'm a feminist with the best of em ok!

AnAirOfHope · 09/06/2012 19:52

I watch the news today and i also hate the people in syrira who killed all the women and children :(

People having a drink after work with friends thats fine but know when and were to draw the line and be considerate of a new mothers feelings.

Also Saturday is my day off where i only lookafter our dd and dh gets to lookafter our son. I didnt get up till 12pm today. I love sleep :)

Tomoro is dh day off and i will lookafter both children for the next 6 days.

I think anair could be right... It is possible that her partner has said 'all the right' things to diffuse a situation or hide a guilty conscience...
