AIBU or has DP been a twat

Hocusypocus · 11/11/2018 14:56

DP works nights but came home last night at midnight as there was an issue at work, he woke me up to ask me to set an alarm on my phone for very early morning so he didn't miss football (he plays every Sunday, straight after he gets off work) then proceeded to keep me up until gone 1:00am. He couldn't use his own alarm apparently, as his phones playing up.

I have a baby at home and am pregnant so need whatever sleep I can get at the moment.

He stays up watching TV until gone 2, disturbing me again when he came to bed then proceeded to keep me up for the remainder of the night with his snoring. I then get woken again by his stupid alarm going off on my phone.

He goes to football this morning and calls after the match to say he's just finishing an after match pint (uncommon for him so no problem there) and do I want to meet him in town in 25 minutes after I've collected a parcel, so we can take DS to the park and grab some dinner.

I collect the parcel and go to town, standing about with the pram for over half an hour. I text him to say I'm here then he rings and says he'll be another hour because his team mate has got him another pint, but it's not his fault because he didn't ask for it.

I say well what do you want me to do then? He replies that it's up to me. Irritated and tired I hung up and came home.

AIBU and hormonal or has he acted like a twat.

I'm feeling your pain right now. Another firm
Vote for he's a twat.
I have one very lazy oh today who decided to go out with work for his leaving do and not come home til 6am. We have a 17 month old and I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant, but it's too much hassle for him to come to bloody tesco with me to get the food shop. So I've said I'm not going and we can just have no food in the house then.

I’m not pregnant and sleep pretty well and if my husband woke me up to tell me to set my phone alarm for him I’d probably boot his head through the window. In your circumstances I don’t know what I’d do.

He’s a twat.

Hocusypocus · 11/11/2018 16:08

I've text him to ask him to pick up some dummies on his way home, DS managed to lose his clip on the way back for the second time this month.

No reply whatsoever

I would be FURIOUS that after all his shitty behaviour, he is STILL at the pub!

If I was you, I'd go to my mums and turn my phone off.

MachoManRandySavage · 11/11/2018 16:16

I'd leave the house, switch your phone off, turn the heating off and go and stay somewhere else for a few days (forever)

lisasimpsonssaxophone · 11/11/2018 16:18

Twat. Twatty twatting twatfaced twat.

My ex used to pull this kind of shit all the time. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep the entire time we were together because he would constantly come home late, switch all the lights on and start chatting/singing loudly until he felt like going to bed. The most annoying thing was that he could sleep like a log within seconds of hitting the pillow, whereas it would take me ages to fall asleep and I’d wake up really easily.

That was just the tip of the massive twatty iceberg, but in summary: NO you are not being even a little bit unreasonable! It’s scary that you even have to ask, isn’t it?

Oh, and I’m pretty sure I could down a pint in about 20 seconds if I had to, so even if he really truly couldn’t bear to leave a pint undrunk, then why the fuck did he need another hour?!

Missingstreetlife · 11/11/2018 16:21

Good idea to go to a friend or family if you can, even travelodge. Turn your phone off. Let him worry where you are. Fuckwit.

Hocusypocus · 11/11/2018 16:21

I'm close to tears from anger now.

Still no sign and not a peep from him.

Seriously considering fucking off to my mums

Bingisatwat · 11/11/2018 16:23

Go to your mums and let her look after you, what a selfish prick he has been today.

Hadenoughofallthis · 11/11/2018 16:24

He kept his pregnant wife and child waiting on a street corner for half an hour in November, and then prioritised a fucking PINT someone had allegedly bought him over you both, wanting you to wait a further hour?????

LTB!!!

MiggledyHiggins · 11/11/2018 16:26

Do that. Go to your mums, and don't bother to leave a note. Don't text him either seeing as he can't be arsed to reply to you.

WeirdCatLady · 11/11/2018 16:26

He’s a cunt. Go to your moms, right now OP. And don’t bother letting him know, he hasn’t paid you the same courtesy.

Hocusypocus · 11/11/2018 16:27

He's turned his phone off, I feel sick now. Fucking bastard

Definite twat

GoJetterGirl · 11/11/2018 16:29

Go to your mums op, and stay there until he stops being a twatsicle,

I can totally relate on the tiredness front, but if the arse disappears to the pub when you have one child and are pregnant, what is he gonna be like when you have both children to physically take care of?!

bathsh3ba · 11/11/2018 16:30

Battery could have gone but either way he is a twat of the highest order. Go to your mum's. If he doesn't react to that then he is clearly showing you how he feels.

Maelstrop · 11/11/2018 16:30

Go to your mum's OP. I reckon he's doing the whole might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb thing. What a complete loser standing up his pregnant partner and child to stay in the fucking pub! He asked, you didn't! Arsehole. Go to your mum's and turn off your phone.

fc301 · 11/11/2018 16:31

Oh my god you poor lady!
I would not speak to him again until I'd calmed down. Then tell him, with icy calmness, that it's over if he ever treats you with disrespect again.
Drinking beer in the pub while his pregnant partner & baby stand on a street corner in November? Tell the thundercunt the 18th Century called - they want him back.

fc301 · 11/11/2018 16:31

And they'd be fucking welcome to him.

happypoobum · 11/11/2018 16:31

Yes I would go to your mums. Fucking arsehole.

MotherofTerriers · 11/11/2018 16:32

Oh sweetie go to your mums and let her look after you. I'm sure she'll entertain your little one while you catch up with some sleep
It will do him no harm at all to wonder where you are for a bit and set his own alarm

BasicUsername · 11/11/2018 16:32

Go to your mums.

Pack a bag with enough stuff for a couple of nights.

Don't forgive this easily, and never forget it.

It's not just what he has done, its that he clearly has his priorities fucked up, and that needs to change.

PhilomenaButterfly · 11/11/2018 16:33

YANBU, he's a twat.

Stargirl90 · 11/11/2018 16:33

He asked you to come meet him, left you standing there knowing full well what time you'd be there, then acts like it's your fault and turns his phone off and doesn't come home Shock I'm actually shocked! Definitely go to your mum's! Let him come crawling back to you

TrueLoveWays · 11/11/2018 16:33

Go to your mum's
He's a twat and a selfish one at that.
