Hi all!

Maybe i’m over-reacting but need to vent !

DH has away for 4 days for a Work trip and came home late last Night.
I was looking forward to a cosy family night tonight - we have 3 children , 2 under 5 and a teenager.

But no ... He is off to spend 3 hours at the cinema because he MUST see the new avengers film tonight.

So no time With the children , as he came home from Work and started doing Jobs, and i have to put 2 if them to bed so they Will be asleep when he gets home.

Wtf?!!

He hasn't had days to watch it, as it has only been released. I personally would cut him some slack - for fans, this is like the Game of Thrones new series - you want to watch it as soon as its available.

But I appreciate that you haven't had it easy. I agree, let him take the kids tomorrow and you get the day off.

OliviaBenson · 26/04/2019 20:55

Not dramatic at all! Enjoy the peace and quiet while he gets to parent....

By tomorrow morning, there will be stuff all over SM giving the plot away - things like blah blah blah blah football blah blah news story AND WOLVERINE DIES (the first film I really noticed a deliberate effort to spoil films by many people).

For many people, it's not just a crappy film, it's their entire childhood wrapped up in one massive finale, the last thing that Stan Lee did, what taught them right from wrong, the one thing in their lives that, no matter how hard their lives were, no matter how fucked up the world is, comforted them with the idea that there are heroes out there and good triumphs over evil in the end.

If my brother hadn't died on Tuesday, I know that he would have been watching it tonight or tomorrow afternoon, in the cinema just around the corner from me (and we'd have probably met there, back row, in the middle to get the best of the audio effects).

I'm going to go as soon as I can leave the house without my knees shaking because a) he passed that love on to me and b) because he doesn't ever get to know what happens now. There are a few other films coming up that I know he would have gone to see within 48 hours of release, too - like the new Godzilla. And, selfish though it sounds, another few hours and an earbashing would be worth the feeling of excitement and anticipation to be sat there, waiting for the flickering pages of the start sequence, not knowing what is going to happen.

letsdolunch321 · 26/04/2019 21:26

Selfish twat.

I would NOT be visiting the in laws tomorrow, he would be doing it with the kids, without me.

Cherrysoup · 26/04/2019 21:34

Are people not seeing that he's been away a few days and could have gone to see it on any of the nights he was away but instead chose to go out for drinks every night then come home and then go to see it? I'd be pissed off too.

Cherrysoup · 26/04/2019 21:35

Totally agree. Take a day for yourself, OP.

Sarahlou63 · 26/04/2019 21:37

Do you think he went to see the film on his own??

GottenGottenGotten · 26/04/2019 21:41

No, because the film has only just been released. Op clearly wasn't aware of that.

banana64 · 26/04/2019 22:19

Absolute load of twaddle.
A movie. A load of made up shite.
Over his children. He could fuck right off.
What a poor poor character he must have.
I really couldn't be married to someone that rediculous.

Merryfecker · 26/04/2019 23:13

To those saying the film has only just been released, if you had read the thread properly you would have seen the OP lives in a different country and the film has already been released for a few days, so if her hubby was so desperate to see it before any spoilers he COULD have seen it while he was away! Seems to me he just wants to do what he wants when he wants and bugger any one else.

CupOhTea · 26/04/2019 23:17

What a twunt! Yanbu. I’d be really disgruntled.

It hasn't been. Marvel did a worldwide release date for it.

Fiveredbricks · 26/04/2019 23:26

Load of rubbish. It's a worldwide release date. He couldn't have gone any earlier at all. Also... it's Endgame! It's a pretty big deal if you're a Marvel fan. He can have the kids tomorrow.

GottenGottenGotten · 26/04/2019 23:26

It really hasn't been. There were previews last night, and it is on general release today - everywhere.

justarandomtricycle · 26/04/2019 23:31

Last ever episode of game of thrones is on and this is your first chance to watch it. People are plastering spoilers all over Facebook, twitter etc.

Child wants you as they often do, but there is a perfectly capable other parent on hand who isn't even interested in game of thrones

If you don't postpone the episode until next day you're a twat

I bet there are people twatcalling for endgame who would fail this test

Merryfecker · 26/04/2019 23:36

Not sure how to do the link, but I gave found a page that listed all the release dates and they were from the 22nd to the 29th of April depending on which country you are from, California USA been the first on the 22nd. Point been is the op,s hu by could have waited, dont care how badly you want to see a film your kids should come 1st

Princess1066 · 26/04/2019 23:43

DS went on Wednesday - we live in Ireland

AngeloMysterioso · 26/04/2019 23:47

What kind of shitty grown-ass father of 3 prioritises going to see a fucking superhero movie on his own over spending time with his children after he’s been away?! Jesus wept.

AngeloMysterioso · 26/04/2019 23:50

Imagine living in a world where such spoilers could be avoided simply by not going on social media

justarandomtricycle · 26/04/2019 23:52

Not being able to go on social media until you've seen it is the obvious given. No time to draw a diagram explaining this.

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 26/04/2019 23:56

Dh is desperate to see Endgame. He's also partial to a cinema trip late at night after the dc are in bed. But he knows I want to see it so he's booked a day off work so we can go together whilst dc are at school. Then promised ds he will take him at some point after wants to make sure it's not too scary and also not miss out as ds will obviously need a loo break. I'll offer him a sainthood after reading this thread 😂

HappyLife21 · 26/04/2019 23:59

Are you sure the child was crying because his dad was going out and not that he sensed the atmosphere created by the fact that you were angry?

StarbucksSmarterSister · 27/04/2019 00:03

for fans, this is like the Game of Thrones new series - you want to watch it as soon as its available.

I am a huge fan of GoT but no way would it come before my kids.

He sounds like an idiot. OP you obviously have one more child than you thought.

Planetian · 27/04/2019 00:10

Can you imagine, as a mother who actually loves her children, being away for four days and then coming home, spending no time with your children and actively making them cry so you can go watch a mediocre film? Nope, can’t imagine it either. How are so many men still so fucking useless at parenting?

He’s a knob OP.

CL240 · 27/04/2019 00:12

I think a day to relax is in order for you. I'd be doing exactly what I wanted for the whole friggin day & let him look after the kids!

It could have waited a day - is not life or death.
