My dp gone away for 5 days today on a stag do. & He never bothered saying goodbye to me or our 3 dc, ate his dinner said he was gonna pop his suitcase round to his friends then would be back. Instead he has gone, no phonecall, no txt just gone.
Aibu or is that a really shitty thing to do just piss off for 5 days but not even say goodbye to his kids? I'm so cross with him right now. Think I need the space to calm down. I would never do that.just go without giving him or kids so much as a kiss goodbye. Or am I over reacting?

I think you should ask yourself where your relationship went wrong; why is there so much hate between you (both) and can your relationship be saved.

Youbknow this is not about a stag weekend. All the best xxx Muppet

Sorry but you are a mug, and tbh if its happens again then it's really what you get for allowing this. You really think he is a fantastic father, it's always the case with these threads though.

I'd tell him to get to fuck. Not even arsed to say goodbye to his kids.
Probably itching to get away with the lads.

He'll have a ball while you are stewing. You will be thinking of what to say to him when he gets back, but the 'grief' you give him will not make a bit of difference. He won't care of the consequences after the event.

It it really isn't reasonable behaviour, even when dh is stewing with me he says bye to the kids before work etc. I do agree that throwing away 12 years if it has only been 2 incidents which make you think wtf really isn't worth it. However, I think I would be tempted to keep hold of his passport to prevent future similar occurrences. He can have it in his hand at the agreed time for going to mates/airport.

I assume he doesn't do this when he's off on a night out without you?

Kenduskeag · 11/08/2016 17:39

#1 he comes to your workplace, chucks the kids at you and runs off on holiday? #2, he muses when to leave for holiday... and just picks up hisbags and slams the door?

He is quite clearly showing you all what he thinks of you.

Oo I've been such a naughty boy, you have a good shout when I get back, love, then get back to cooking my meals, there's a good lass.

You deserve way more respect than this.

VitreousEnamel · 11/08/2016 17:48

....yes, but I want to know where this came from. This is not normal behaviour so something out of the ordinary preceded it.

Unless the whole relationship has been like that.

5 days stag do. Phone off straight away. mmm something is amiss here. Twat.

pearlylum · 11/08/2016 18:20

The 5 day stag do alone would do it for me.

I would rather be alone than be with a man who enjoys that kind of event.

YANBU - he has behaved like a prize twat. Again.
I'd also be questioning whether he is likely to misbehave whilst he's away too - because he knows you have now fallen out with him and he has 'making up' to do when he returns - so he may as well make full use of his free pass. I know a few guys who think like this.

VitreousEnamel · 11/08/2016 18:47

Lol...google hen do and seevwhat you've been missing. But you have no evidence for such allegations, most stag/hen do's are just drinking and talking about sex.

Women in the outside world do not all follow your puritan ways. X
