Fil and dinner (continuation from mil and wedding)

Backstory: PIL have never really like me. Not fussed, I love my DH and that's all I cared about. Things kicked off last year here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3424456-Mil-threatening-to-not-come-to-wedding?pg=4
She did not go to the wedding - that's okay not going to force someone. However my DH made it clear if she didnt go he doesn't want contact with her. His dad keeps trying to guilt him into talking to her and 'put water under the bridge' but DH has stood firm and is not engaging in this discussion.

Here's the AIBU - was supposed to meet with FIL tonight for dinner, MIL was not invited but DH still wanted to see his dad. We waited 45 mins and he didnt show. We text him when we arrived but no response. We had dinner and left. 30 mins later fil called screaming down the phone that he had waited in the carpark for us and we never came and got him. He forgot his phone( which we should know he does so that's your fault) and had to drive to get a phone to call us. I asked him if he came into the restaurant and he said no (well screamed no and then hung up)

he proceeded to hang up everytime I called and tried to understand what happened but he would scream and swear and hang up. He is now expecting an apology. I just dont get it? He didnt once stick his head in to see.

Fair enough we didnt go outside and look. But surely if you dont have a way to contact someone and are waiting directly outside the door you would go in? He is not answering any phone call now. What do you do in this situation?

I once, in the days pre mobile phone, argued with my best friend about going into the roughest pub in town, wherbker wobbly us drinks, for 3 hours because neither of us wanted to be the one who opened the door.

We were 16.

16 years ago we organised a forum meeting in our city - far smaller forum than MN, and one mum or 2 children with a job wanted to meet in the car park so she didn’t have to go in alone. I did it, but I never met up with her again.
