I either need to give DH a bollocking, or get a grip... Help me decide.

Went to a garden party at friends house yesterday. DS hot,bothered, overtired etc so I took him for a walk in pram. DH came with me to pick up ice from corner shop.

On arriving back to the party, driveway leading to garden is all blocked with cars. DH nips past, says he'll come open the front door so we can take DS through still sleeping in pram. Simples.

Apparently not. 15 mins later and I'm still waiting at the front door. DH not picking up his phone. No one can hear doorbell as all outside.

AIBU to be utterly pissed off with wanker husband for forgetting us?

He's claiming he got held up unpacking the ice, then assumed I'd have 'gone for another walk'. He never came to the door. I had to leave DS in pram, go through to the garden to find husband in garden with a beer.

Tell me,AIBU to be livid? He can't see the big deal. Worse still, he's making out like he didn't forget us, he just got held up and because I didn't come out back sooner, I must have kept on walking...

Half rant, half AIBU. I'm just so pissed off with my husband being in his own world atm Hmm

How can he forget your existence in the few seconds it took him to go into the house?

And your non-appearance is explained by the fact you'd gone for another walk?

Utterly implausible.

This is on the back of him making his own plans for much of this weekend, leaving me solely in charge of DS all weekend etc, so I'm just a bit GRRR with him anyway.

On the fence here. He should have come through and opened door as said but easy to be caught and time go quick. As for the phone thing. I love to forget mine. Its a tool. Can't understand why he didn't answer it if not on him.

Phaedral - you've summed up my thoughts exactly... But, I suppose I can kind of see how it happened. Still, don't think I'd have forgotten about my DS and DH...

He is an arse. You don't 'forget' the main reason you go in somewhere on your own ie to let your family in.

And if you do get waylaid and distracted then the second you remember you run straight to the door with an apology.

Grrr on your behalf.

ThinkAboutItTomorrow · 27/07/2014 19:18

And in terms of getting over it you need an apology before that is possible.

'Had words' doesn't count if they ended with him insisting he did nothing wrong.

I am Shock at your 'D'H doing this to you! Seriously, he forgot? Is he normally this much of a knob? I don't know anyone that would do that. I mean ..wha....how....?
Does he normally treat you as low down his list of priorities in other ways?
