My husband has gone potty!

[RunLillian88]

He's been out for the night... left at 1pm and got back at 12ish. The communication between me and DH tonight has left me baffled!

I got a iMessage at 9:45 that just reads "cheers" and I few moments later a notification of a missed call. I roll my eyes as I don't get signal on my mobile at home (as he knows) and he could have rung the land line or my work mobile, but noooo.

I send him an iMessage: "what's up?"
DH: "Jesus man!"
DH: "I need your help!"

Now I'm worried something has happened... so I call him using the landline. He doesn't answer. Then shortly after I get an FaceTime audio from him. I immediately start with, "are you ok, what's happened?"

He replies, "yes, yes... where is my train?"
Me: "is anything wrong?" (My inner thoughts wondering if one of his friends is hurt or if there's been a fight, has he been mugged?!)
DH: "yes I want to get on the train and I can't see the board thingy."
Me: " you had me really worried over train times?!"
DH: "for f**k sake. Just tell me what platform."
Me: (half joking... ok maybe 1/4 joking) "I'm not telling you anything if you talk to me like that."
DH: "great thanks for that."

Then he hangs up!!! so at this point I wanna let him figure it out for himself, but I'm not that mean so I text him the times. I get 1 word replies. Ask if I've done a something wrong... I haven't. But he is acting really strange.

He gets home, we have a bit of back and forth about his phone manners and my epic work load I had on today that he did nothing to help by going out and deciding not to come back much later than expected, leaving me with a large pile of work and a toddler to look after... I'm a bit miffed about it tbh, it's been a stressful day and I'm worried because I was rather late on my deadline, but not much to be done about it now.

He decides I'm being mellow dramatic, I point out that miiigggghhhtttt be him and he has enough of it all and goes to bed.

I follow him up the talk continues. Then he says something that nearly breaks my heart. "I just wish you were more supportive of me"

Do I not do enough around the house? Have I not been asking him enough about work or celebrating his achievements? Am I not for-filling his emotional support needs?!

I push further to see how and why and he says: "well if you were in London today I would have been more supportive."

"What?" I ask.

"Well I needed you to find the train and you couldn't even answer the phone. I had no support"

I kid you not mums net!

"I have not got signal here." I reply.

"Good point." He admits.

"And when I did get though I was really worried about you. I thought you needed actual support."

"I'm just saying you weren't supportive and I would have been if it was you."

"How could I be supportive if I don't even know your phoning me? You're being an ass hole."

Then he storms off. Saying that he doesn't need this.

He has currently taken himself to the spare bedroom and is cuddling the dog!!!!

I love him, but the booze has made him potty 😂😂😂

Well done for not rising to it - a lot of people would. You recognised it for it was and called him out on it.

..... and guess what - he's finally recognised it himself

Merciless teasing required. My DH recently had a bit too much and couldn't quite figure out how to open the front door then hung his coat on an imaginary hook! After I finished being cross because I don't think being that impaired is great for personal safety I laughed at him lots. I still like to do an impression of him 'hanging' his coat.

This doesn't particularly humorous but I agree that who hasn't had one too many and lost all sense of reason.

Is it only me who wonders if this is the first time he has been such an arsehole?

Yeah bless him, he sounds a hoot

I'm not saying this to be a bitch but just in case you genuinely don't know; the words you're looking for are 'melodramatic' and 'fulfilling'.

He was the one in the train station, where all the information about trains and stuff is, with all the staff who know about trains, all the information boards, time tables, the destinations written on the sides of the trains etc yet he phones you to find out where to get the train from.
Twat.

'Mellow dramatic'?

That doesn’t sound even slightly funny to me, sorry.

Drink turns my (normally sane, nice reasonable) husband into a monster, hence him being TT. Sounds like he's not alone.

At least he's not claiming his drink was spiked - it really irritates me when people do that and you think 'no, you've been out for ages and it's gone straight to your head'.

I'm rofling at mellow dramatic

Mellow dramatic is almost as good as lack toast and tolerant

Sorry I am rather on the dyslexic side. My spelling is always horrid and autocorrect doesn't do that much to help.

We are already using, "you're not being supportive enough" to tease each other 😅

Lipstick, I can't believe you're still commenting on my mundane post.

I honestly don't mind if you don't want to read it.

I read the title as 'My DH has gone to the potty'. I was a bit disappointed to be honest.

Oh FFS!

If this was the latest in a long line of DH's unacceptable behaviours it would be different, but it doesn't sound like it is. It wasn't great at the time, but the OP can see the funny side - far better under the circs than going all holier-than-thou at him. And getting drunk and doing something stupid doesn't make you A Bad Person for life, otherwise half of MN is screwed.

And if you only posted to poke fun at the OP's spelling and regardless of her dyslexia, please do a quick flounce and head off to Nethuns. You'll find their company far more to your taste.

My DH does not go out drinking often but when he does he is always a twat. I start filming as he falls into the front door then I post it on you tube linking it to my Facebook, I have a few classics on there

Thanks devils!

I was just sat up last night half fuming, half laughing at my poor drunken hubby cuddling the dog in the spare room.

I know what these threads can be like, I just thought I'd try to share the bafflement and laugh.

Much love. ❤️

I think this could become a long-running joke between the two of you. I love those.

I feel sorry for the people who clean stations and trains who have to clean up the piss and vomit left by drunks.

I really wish people would realise that very drunk people being near trains, on train platforms, when they are often moving at high speeds is not funny.

It's stupid and dangerous.

@6demanding children,
you are behaving shockingly
would you like it if the tables were turned, boot was on the other foot kind of thing?

It would Hall have been jolly japes for me till the "I need your help" text which would have worried me to death. Then I'm not laughing any more

6demandingchildren

Does your DH know that you post those videos on YouTube?

Thanks for giving me a laugh
