Evening

I'll try writing this as nicely as I can, eventhough I'm literally fuming.

It was a close relatives wedding today which me and DH were due to attend at 12.30pm until DH decided at 10am this flippin morning that he had decided to not go because he 'just didn't feel like it'.
No friggin valid reason, no notice, nothing! I was left to go alone because HE could not be asked. AngryBlush

Now wait for the best part..

He.knew I was not happy so to avoid argument he decided he needed an urgent trip to the local market and to get a haircut HmmConfusedAngry. 20 mins later he left the house without his phone and at that point I had no idea where he was and whether he was actually serious about not going.

So before I went I thought I'll hide his tablet rather than arguing because he can't live withput his tablet - literally!

He's been rummaging through everything to find it all day Smile

As angry as I was; this has made me so happy Grin

Can i just add he did have a haircut and bought stuff from the local market. He wasn't out cheating just to make that clear lol

I'd have binned his bloody tablet. So rude and selfish to just not turn up.

He is unreliable and selfish - not ideal traits in a husband and I would be planning my exit strategy if he does shit like this!

How old are you both? You sound very young and incredibly immature

UnsolvedMystery · 02/08/2015 15:30

You hid the tablet to avoid dealing with the problem of him being an arse.
It just ends up all a bit silly playing tit for tat.

Try talking to each other like adults - that tends to be more effective at sorting problems out.

Not a lot of adult communication going on really is there? Tit for tat is a rocky road that leads to massive resentment and break ups.

I actually don't think that you were being very childish, it's only a tablet, he could have done something else like read a book...

NoahVale · 02/08/2015 17:57

Deciding not to go to a wedding two hours before it starts is a really shitty thing to do, no doubt the bride and groom paid for his meal and what not and even if they hadn't it's still a shitty thing to do with no reason as to why. He's a wanker just for that.

Hiding his tablet was silly though and doesn't actually achieve much...

At the end of the day, take it from a wise old owl then, resentment builds up by lack of communication. Say what you really mean all of the time. It works wonders. No need to hide things, no need to take on anyones inadequacies.
