Children in bed for 6.15pm with DP's bestfriend and his new girlfriend arriving for 6.30pm. I've made dinner and had the table set since that time. Said it couldn't be a ridiculously late thing as I have desperately got to prep for exams.
Got a text at 7.30pm saying 'we are running to the shop first, need anything?' I replied 'no thank you, dinner's getting cold!' No reply.
We've been stood up haven't we!?
Really wish I had stuck with the original plan of revision, Grey's Anatomy and a take away :( AIBU to just cancel now? And have a (very rare) evening with DP?

Enjoy your dinner, leave theirs on the doorstep like another pp suggested.

CoffeeAndCupcakes85 · 31/12/2017 20:42

People are outrageous. I'm really sorry OP. Any sign of them? I kind of hope you've just turned the lights off and gone to bed with Grey's Anatomy!

MiddleClassProblem · 31/12/2017 20:43

EAT! FUCK ‘EM and then each other

SantaBaby1 · 31/12/2017 20:44

I won't answer, but DP will feel too bad. I'm going to eat snuggle and get on with GA. They're not in a horrific accident (well I do hope not) as he was last seen on WhatsApp 3 mins ago Hmm
It's not unlike him to be late, but that is why I went for 6.30pm, in the hope that he'd be here for 7!!

Incredibly rude.

Nottheduchessofcambridge · 31/12/2017 20:45

Are they there now?

BrutusMcDogface · 31/12/2017 20:46

That's shockingly rude! It's now 8.45; did they ever turn up?!

Maelstrop · 31/12/2017 20:48

Omg, how appalling! Knowing your DP is diabetic, they should have more consideration. Wankers.

TheEmmaDilemma · 31/12/2017 20:48

Fucking rude!

CombineBananaFister · 31/12/2017 20:49

Hope you enjoyed your dinner. Very rude, I wouldn't entertain them if they showed up. It's not some student house party, come as you like. They could've just said no if it wasn't their cup of tea

GlitteryFluff · 31/12/2017 20:49

So rude.

CoffeeAndCupcakes85 · 31/12/2017 20:49

They still hadn't turned up at 20:45?! That's just so so rude. I'm really sorry you went to all that effort OP Sad

ThePinkOcelot · 31/12/2017 20:50

Rude! God, some people!

No, no sign. I'm assuming they've had a better offer. Will update if they arrive!

Two hours late and with no explanation or apology!

I think at this point I’d ring them and suggest you do this another night (Don’t!) as dinner is cold and you’ve too much to do than have them arrive now.

Groovee · 31/12/2017 20:51

That's horrifically rude! Hope your DP is ok and has eaten x

So rude. If they turn up, I wonder what the excuse will be

missiondecision · 31/12/2017 20:53

Horrible way to behave.
I expect they have had an argument

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 31/12/2017 20:54

That's appallingly rude!

You're well shot of them tonight. Arseholes.

FilledSoda · 31/12/2017 20:55

Don't ever invite them again

RatRolyPoly · 31/12/2017 20:55

Well at least it's a heads up for two people whose birthdays you can safely ignore in 2018.

Sparklesocks · 31/12/2017 20:55

Awful bastards!

ZipItZebedee · 31/12/2017 20:56

That's rude of them.
