Dp and stag do!

68 replies

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 15:52

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 😂

My friends husband did this on a stag do because the others wanted to do drugs and visit prostitutes. Don't question him , just pick him up!

Yabbers · 05/05/2019 16:53

MN post insisting their OH should stay out longer and get more drunk? That’s a first.🙄

He’s asked for your help. Give it. It would be wrong not to.

My husband always does this and always blames me. He'll even go as far as to go "ne naw ne naw it's the fun police" when he sees me (lightheartedly). It took a couple of years but his friends all know what he's like now, especially after he got caught throwing shots over his shoulder. They all know he likes to get home to his own bed and I happily eye roll and play along now.

Slicedpineapple · 05/05/2019 17:06

I'd help him out with his escape route personally.

Trebla · 05/05/2019 17:27

Uber?

DressyMcDressFace · 05/05/2019 17:32

Alcohol use in this country is nuts. Imagine if they were all out taking a bunch of coke.

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 17:36

It was meant a bit jokey for that reason @Yabbers.
He knows he should stay really for his mate. His brother is out too and I text him to tell him to feed Dp and order him a coke when he got a round in (drink not drugs). He's had some chips so he's feeling a bit better now.

@NotReadyForThisX2 I thought this sounded like the Otley run 😂😂 I've never done it but my ex used to ring me asking me to pick him up before he'd done it all

diddl · 05/05/2019 17:40

"He knows he should stay really for his mate."

Why though?

Because he's best man?

" His brother is out too and I text him to tell him to feed Dp and order him a coke when he got a round in"

That makes him sound rather pathetic.

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 17:42

I did it in my uni days with a different drink in each pub. I was not well the next day 🤢 @JustBeenNosey

@NotReadyForThisX2 I keep saying to the girls that we need to do it but we've never got round to it😂😂

englishdictionary · 05/05/2019 17:46

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.

Why did you say no? Your his partner ffs, you are supposed to have his back! I can't work my head around why anyone would refuse the very most simple thing to help another person out!

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 17:46

It's a good night/day@JustBeenNosey. Ive done it since but been more careful and definitely paced myself, but it's always fun.

OP posts:
JustBeenNosey · 05/05/2019 17:47

@NotReadyForThisX2 it sounds it! Tbf I've never been drinking in headingley.. been for one when I've been driving to see my friend at head of steam but that's about it 🙄😂

hewontstopshitting · 05/05/2019 17:47

I’d let him come home, it’s horrible being somewhere when you don’t want to be

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 17:55

They haven't even dressed up or anything @JustBeenNosey. I got Dp to dress up once when we did it together with friends, but that took some coaxing, he didn't finish it that time either I had to take the drunken mess home.
That was all pre babies though, I'd probs make it to the second pub and be calling a Uber home nowadays (when I'm not pregnant) 😂

" it’s horrible being somewhere when you don’t want to be"

I do agree with that-but supposedly he's with friends on a do that he organised!

If he couldn't be bothered to pace himself & was feeling ill I might not be feeling too sympathetic, but if his friends are pissed & being dicks I'd probably have more sympathy.

Is it due to end at a particular time Op & what was his plan for getting home if he stayed to the end?

JustBeenNosey · 05/05/2019 18:05

@NotReadyForThisX2 I can't drink for shit so I probably wouldn't make it to the end either 😂😂😂😂

SnakesBarmitzvah · 05/05/2019 18:05

Don’t be mean, help the guy out.

Imagine if it was the other way around.

Surprised at your lack of support to be honest

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 18:56

He hadn't paced himself I knew that's what was wrong and then he can't be bothered drinking anymore and wants to come home.

The idea is it finishes at the last pub, although I imagine some will stay out longer. He'll get the bus or a taxi home, depends on time they finish/state he's in. The groom to be is supposed to be staying here too. Dp says he (groom) is looking a little worse for wear now so he's going to head home soon. Dp's feeling ok now though, must be having his second wind 😂

Are you both 16? “Paced himself” 🙄

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 20:05

Nope not 16 @Yabbers. He'd planned a whole day of drinking, the point is to have at least one drink in each pub. He knows he's not a big drinker so knocking back 2/3 pints in the first pub wasn't going to be a good idea, was it.

He could of course come home when ever he wanted, he's got the Uber app. I posted lightheartedly because I thought it was a bit funny that he did exactly what I said he would and what he said he definitely wouldn't and was then wanting me to help him get out of it.

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 20:11

Anyway he's home now and not really all that drunk. He brought food too 😋

OP posts:
noeyedeer · 05/05/2019 20:16

Is his friend home with him? And if he is, I hope the friend bought the food!

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 05/05/2019 20:25

Foods good!!
