Last night was DH's works leaving do. I haven't heard from him since 5pm yesterday. Admittedly he's done this before, this is the 3rd time in the last 3 months which drives me insane. Both with worry about home and early morning child care.. We both work full time and DH does the mornings, and me the evenings.
So, it's almost 730 and I haven't heard from him. His mobile was a work phone which he handed back yesterday so I have no way of calling him. Out of the 2 colleagues of his I know, one said he left before DH and the other hasn't answered my call or text.
Am I being unreasonable to be so flipping angry/worried..how long do I leave it before doing something (I know not what?)?

I'd be fucking furious, and I think I'd be leaving a suitcase outside the door. Don't keep putting up with it, he'll just keep doing it.

Any excuse for a bender eh? Hmm
Needless to say, I would not be letting that one lie.

Lock the door and leave the key in.

PrincessChick · 26/06/2014 22:17

I think I agree with the others in saying leave your key in the door with a bin liner of his stuff on the step, maybe with a note "after x years of marriage, got pissed off. Sorry"

What a tool (him, not you!)

WashinfFanatic or whatever you're called: half a dozen times in over 15 years does not mean I am getting what I deserve

Well actually I didn't say you're getting what you deserve Hmm
Why has it happened 6 times?

The first time the selfish, thoughtless pr*ck did it, why did you not go fucking nuclear and warn him that if he ever did it again he'd be out on his ear?

You may not want to hear it, but you HAVE enabled this behaviour IMO. If he's been able to do this to you 6 times before, and you get over it and life goes on just perfectly for him, of course he'll keep fucking doing it.

PicandMinx · 26/06/2014 22:35

As Korma said, how did he text you without a work phone?

FreeSpirit89 · 26/06/2014 23:39

If LTB, and ignore washingfantastic.

It isn't your place to teach a grown man respect x

ImperialBlether · 26/06/2014 23:47

I would be very suspicious. Is he leaving work? Does he have a job to go to? What happened on the other occasions?

Xcountry · 26/06/2014 23:51

Flexly Tomorrow is Friday - start of the weekend, for you anyway - have a nice one at his expense!!

Cric · 27/06/2014 06:53

I hope he is back!

Groovee · 27/06/2014 07:18

Thinking off you Flex

mimishimmi · 27/06/2014 08:20

What were his reasons the other two times? It does sound a little suspicious sorry and even if it's not, he's completely taking you for granted.

SuzanneSays · 27/06/2014 21:36

Hope he's grovelling Flex! x

Finney2 · 27/06/2014 21:49

But where on earth has he been. Even in my student days if I'd stayed out all night, when I'd sobered up by lunchtime the next day I went home.

Bender? He's not 21. He's a grown man with a wife and kids and responsibilities.

If I were you, the second he gets back I'd have a bag packed and waiting and I'd fuck off to a hotel for a weekend without telling him where im going and without taking my phone. See how he likes it.

EmptyNestAgain · 27/06/2014 23:44

Everything ok, flex?
