DH is on a week long business trip which includes some meetings, trainings but a large amount of socialising too. He regularly travels but are usually shorter (2-3 nights) for meetings only or up to a week for projects.

He’s currently pretty much MIA at the moment and have only had brief replies today to my messages this afternoon which largely proclaim that he’s having a tough time. I know his work schedule in the week is harder and the first few days is largely socialising.

AIBU to think given it’s the weekend we’d otherwise be having family time, it wouldn’t kill him to make sure I’m okay? For context, I’m on maternity leave with a small baby plus 2 older DCs. If it was just me/me and baby/me and older DCs I wouldn’t be quite so precious but everyone has very different needs for me to meet alone.

It is difficult when you're on your own for so long for your mind to start thinking up horrible scenarios. I'm sure you'll feel better about it all once you've seen him. You can tell more when you see their face and how they act.

I didn’t call him a liar - I asked if there was anything else he needed to tell me now because if I was drip fed more later it wouldn’t go well. He can and has been economical with the truth in the past which is what I was angry about, not his version of events.

You implied he was lying.

Why were you angry that he has been economical with the truth in the past.

I get being distrustful. But angry during this conversation?
