Dp and stag do!

[NotReadyForThisX2]

Dp is out for friends stag do, pretty popular pub run and they started early. He sent me a text firstly asking me to phone him and say I needed him home for Ds or something important, I said no. Now he's just text to say can I go pick him up from x place but not to tell anyone.
He's obviously had enough and wants to sneak off or have an excuse to go rather than just saying I've had enough lads I'm off home.

So am I unreasonable to not help him out? I did warn him when he set off to pace himself and not over do it in the first few pubs, but he's only about half way at the moment 😂

We've all been there....trapped on a night out.

Could he not just feign diarrhoea? Which, I believe is the universally code for " I wanna go home, but I'm too chicken to say"

☺

Sounds like he wants to paint you as “the old ball and chain”, nagging him to come home.

If he sneaks off to come home - I bet you get the blame.

Agree if he gets take away later!!

He's not really like that @Skiptheskip. Plus his mates know what he's like.

He's best man though and he organised it so he really should stay till the end.

Are they insisting on strip club and he wants a way out without losing face?

Aw. We've all been there. Go get him, and yes, his shout for the takeaway

Notready aren’t you the poster who had the awful moral dilemma as the result of a stag do recently? It’s not THAT friend is it 😱

I’d go and get him tbh. You might regret ignoring his pleas later on when he crawls home on his hands and knees, vomiting in your veggie patch and passing out on your kitchen floor. At least he’s making the effort to try and leave, unlike some who will just keep going until they’re lying in the gutter somewhere.

If he's best man he should try and stay the course! Tell him to have lots of soft drinks or water for an hour and he'll get his second wind!

No strip clubs @DressyMcDressFace. It's a pub run, 16 pubs in total I think. They were out at 12 and Dp just isn't a big drinker. But I warned him, alternate alcohol with soft drinks, just have half. I don't think he listened to my advice.

I think you are being unreasonable not to help out your partner to save a bit of face.

Yep, which is why he's really not supposed to leave @SmileEachDay.

Is this the Otley run? Used to love doing pub runs when I was younger!

I'd go pick him up, saves him maybe getting in too much of a mess and being annoying for you later! (I know from experience!)

Just help him with his escape route!

Oh my Notready

It might be better if he did come home in that case, given the fallout last time!

It is @optimisticpessimist01.

I meant it a bit lighthearted @zippey. Dp always does this on big nights out, weekends away etc. His mates know what he's like, he phoned me once from magaluf crying to come home.

He knows he should stay, he promised the bride he'd make sure the groom got home ok. But seen as I'm on a drinking ban but really fancying one (pregnant) I'm finding it quite funny that he's desperate to stop drinking come home.

He wasn't there before @SmileEachDay. And only a few out today know, some of the brides family etc are out and she's doesn't want them knowing.
Hence why it still had to go ahead, otherwise don't think he'd be going out at all.

bless him! He has to stay if he’s best man, that would look shit if he left now! He should have paced himself.

Exactly @BigSandyBalls2015. I told him to just get a shandy.

oh bloody hell Id say thats so awkward for both of them!!

He text saying he wished he smoked, because the smokers get to go out for some fresh air (hmm fresh air?) every hour or so and have a break from drinking.

I think the wedding is going to be worse @BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil.

Can't he pretend he's going out for a bit of fresh air and then disappear quietly? I suppose that's not the done thing though, is it? He really should be man enough to say "I'm off now, bye."

I earned the nickname 'the dog in the fog' because I always wander off home early and never say goodbye! I learned my lesson and don't bother going any more haha

Why should he need to just disappear though-if these are friends that "know what he's like"-why can't he just say he's had enough & go home?
