So after 8 years of trying inc ivf, ops, miscarriages you name it we finally had some amazing luck and fell pregnant. For various reasons I'm due to be induced tomorrow and dh has gone to the pub to meet a group of guys in a longstanding arrangement. I don't mind him going for a bit (he said he'd only be a couple of hours) so we'd still have our 'last night ' together. He left at 5:30 and has just bounced in pretty much pissed. (No thought about what we'd do to get to the hospital if I actually started labour which is a distinct possibility given what's been happening the past couple of days)
I'm sodding livid and he can't see what the problem is. He said I could have come to the pub.... Yes I could apart from the fact that I can hardly walk and am in agony so the last thing I want to do is be in a bloody pub. So having a rant here, aibu or should I just suck it up?

For those who don't see a problem. Consider that OP will need to get to hospital and he may well still be over the drink drive limit. That's a problem.

I know that I'd be really pissed off if I were you, but hopefully you slept well (as well as you can at this stage) and are over it now.

You may well have one more night waiting for the gel to take effect anyway. And if you go into labour get a taxi or someone else to drive.

I hope the birth goes really well.

Just keep it in mind when you're in labour and wanting to throw random objects at him Grin

Apostrophes I get that but I rather suspect in her DH’s mind he was focussed on ‘induction and baby tomorrow’ rather than ‘DW could go into labour right now'. I know why she is cross but hopefully it won’t have come to that and they can put it behind them. He has come home at 10.30 not 3.30 in the morning. He will probably be fine this morning. She said he was pissed not incoherent and puking everywhere. He made a mistake, people do. Hopefully he will realise he was an idiot this morning and make it up to the OP by being the best, most attentive, birth partner.

Good luck today :). Agree that the DH is a fool, but today is not the day to thrash it out. His foolishness can be dealt with later.

Good luck for today

It was a really stupid thing to do but as someone says maybe he was nervous as he doesn't have form for this sort of thing so it may be better to look at the big picture and let it go (knowing you have the moral higher ground) rather than have the memory of today including a massive row. You've waited a long time for today- make all of it lovely and focus on today and not yesterday. Don't let it taint today.
