To be pissed off with DP

Bit of a long one as don't want to drip feed.
Me DP and 3 month old DS moved into a new house yesterday. The plan was to unpack as much as possible and assemble furniture as we are going on holiday tomorrow then DP is back at work.
He left at 2pm to go the pub to watch the second half of a football match and then assured me he would be straight home.
He still isn't here and the house is a state and DS has just fallen asleep. AIBU to be so angry and annoyed. Please tell me if I am as he seems to think there is no problem!

Any sign of him yet OP?

Soyouare2faced · 02/10/2016 22:21

Potter what kind of nut jobs phones the pub?!

ParForTheCourses · 02/10/2016 22:21

Is he going to be able to drive tomorrow? He may not if he's been drinking all afternoon.

I hope he comes back soon op. Sadly it sounds like he may be slipping back to old selfish habits. I hope not for you though.

SalemSaberhagen · 02/10/2016 23:59

Is he home yet? I'd be raging.

Realhousewivesofshit · 03/10/2016 00:06

Don't ring the pun ffs you would be s laughing stock! He's not 12 you can't tell an adult to come home now.

He sounds s twat but why would you consider a holiday to Scotland just after moving house? All sounds like far too much hard work.

LineyReborn · 03/10/2016 08:41

Yes, I think he's sabotaging the holiday to Scotland because he doesn't want to go.

MoreCoffeeNow · 03/10/2016 08:45

Don't ring the pun ffs you would be s laughing stock!

And so he should be. Selfish prick.

AyeAmarok · 03/10/2016 08:49

YANBU. He's being extremely selfish.

I don't think he should be driving to Scotland today either. Also, the drink-driving laws are different here and he'd be over the limit here even when he wasn't in England.

seven201 · 03/10/2016 08:49

What was his explanation? I wouldn't be happy at all!

CockacidalManiac · 03/10/2016 08:52

He doesn't sound like a very good partner to me; far too selfish and childish.

AllegraAlmond · 03/10/2016 08:53

Hi all, i went to bed so couldn't reply.
The holiday was booked by my DM months ago and the house move happened very quickly, but as I needed to move I couldn't wait for another house.
He was steaming drunk and still asleep downstairs.
DM is going to take me and DS in her car and her partners now having to take his car aswell for bags etc. Thanks for all your help.

What a cunt he is.

LineyReborn · 03/10/2016 09:10

I hope you have a good break with your family, OP.

You can think about whether you require your partner to be there or not when you get home.

benbry · 03/10/2016 09:11

That's a red card. You'd be better off without him.

Have a nice peaceful holiday.

DPotter · 03/10/2016 23:47

I have phoned the pub - admittedly I knew the landlord which made things easier!

PickAChew · 03/10/2016 23:50

Glad you're renting. Never buy with him because he'll do this one time too often.

MrsTerryPratchett · 04/10/2016 00:32

Well clearly the four months was a little holiday from his normal self. What happens after the holiday OP?

PoppyPicklesPenguin · 04/10/2016 00:58

Think it sounds like he has done it one too many times.

What a horrible way to treat you OP, I hope you manage to have a lovely holiday with your family.

SortAllTheThings · 04/10/2016 01:12

What a cunt.

YouTheCat · 04/10/2016 07:38

Chuck the twat out.

What kind of person leaves his partner to do all of the unpacking, building flat packs when you've moved house, and have a newborn, so he can go to the pub? Even my alcoholic exh wasn't that much of a twat.

Tbh, I wouldn't be going to Scotland. I'd be making sure his stuff is in the garden and enlisting the help of family to get you settled in your new place.
