Didn't come home

My partner went to the pub yesterday afternoon and as yet is still not home. His phone has been off since around 11pm. Am I being unreasonable to think this is a complete disregard for me and be absolutely livid?

Not that at all but hardly thnk someone who has read the very limited information I have given and deduce that he is obviously 'shagging someone else'. I don't find it helpful and it's really not warranted to be told in that way. Not even a gentle suggestion that this may be the case but a definite reason for him being out. I am not a naive idiot it had obv crossed my mind that there may be reasons that are not agreeable to me but people that add that and nothing further are not as I say very helpful.

I have to defend Sal here. Up thread, I told her that I didn't believe her dh's story and it wasn't taken the wrong way

It really does just depend on your feelings and your personal boundaries, OP. What you can or can't tolerate and working out what you want to do (easier said than done I know).

Sorry you are so stressed when pregnant.

anditwasallyellow · 23/07/2012 16:36

I think that you should nip this in the bud now before the baby arrives or consider going it alone. It will be even more stressful and hurtful once baby is here.

I know it's not what you want to hear but the phone off would make me suspect cheating. I knew a couple where the man used to do this. It didn't stop it escalated in the end he actually left her for someone else. It's a very selfish and disrespectful thing to do.

You should tell him that if this happens one more times he's out on his ear and mean it. Next time he goes out and turns his phone off leave his bags packed at the front door. Have you ever wondered if you are feeling depressed because of his behaviour?

CinnamonSal · 23/07/2012 17:42

I have long standing issues with depression but his behaviour sometimes does not help. I have prob took this a lot worse than I would have had I been 'well'. To be fair he doesn't do this every week. First time for our all night and as mentioned previously some occasions when it's the 'be home in 20' bull. I think how bad I am currently feeling has clouded my judgement about everything. I feel I can't cope and everything seems worst case scenario.
Make no mistake his belongings will be out the door if he does this again.

Course he's shagging someone else.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 23/07/2012 18:57

Ive no idea why some people seem to want to create non existant dramas and heartache for others- is your own life so dull?

CinnamonSal · 23/07/2012 19:24

Oh I'm pretty down tbh. Not all to do with him just how it is just now. Thanks for asking pickles

Hope you feel better soon apart from anything else going on being pregnant is hard enough, I am too and my hormones are everywhere.

CinnamonSal · 23/07/2012 19:47

Yeh it's a hard time, well for some of us. Makes it worse when it's meant to be a happy time.

ShellyBoobs · 23/07/2012 19:52

Hi Cinnamon, I haven't got anything constructive to add that hasn't already been said. Just wanted to say I hope you feel better soon and get things sorted out with your OH.

Just ignore the nasty posters who are deliberately trying to make you feel worse. They've obviously got nothing better to do in their said little lives.

Frontline · 23/07/2012 19:54

Oh sorry. Didn't reakise this is a censored thread.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 23/07/2012 19:56

It's not which is why people are free to disagree with you and/or tell you to fuck off.

Frontline · 23/07/2012 19:56

Well obviously you can't as that is a personal insult and will lead to deletion.

CinnamonSal · 23/07/2012 19:59

Deleted - pathetic.

Don't ask if you only want to hear good news.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 23/07/2012 20:01

So your not happy about the deletions? Confused

Frontline · 23/07/2012 20:02

I'm doing cartwheels. Of course.

FormerlyTitledUntidy · 23/07/2012 20:02

since when is telling someone to fuck off a personal insult?

Frontline · 23/07/2012 20:03

"you're " btw.
