Background is this. Dh has his own business which has grown very rapidly in the last 2 years. Good news yes but putting him under lots of pressure. Last few weeks he has been stressed with computer problems and working a few late nights. He also had to bow out of a family day on Bank Holiday monday at the last minute to sort out a computer issue.
Tonight he had a meeting in London which he had told me about at the weekend which was to "sort out a problem". He told the DCs this morning that he would be back very late tonight but they were fine as it's quite normal at the moment.
Anyway, I had called him about 5 times today to ask him one particular question but kept getting his a/p which i thought was to be expected as I knew he had a colleague in the office for meetings. DH then called me about 4pm but the service was rubbish on my phone so we had to cut the call short. I called him back when i got home at 5pm but just got the a/phones again (office and mobile).
Then at about 6pm I saw him walk past the front kitchen window, with his dad, and wave to me. I shouted out to the DCs that dad was home and went to open the front door only to see him getting into his dad's car and driving off .
After I calmed the DCs I called him to ask what was going on and he got a bit agressive with me saying I should have realised that he was just coming to drop his car off so that his dad could give him a lift to the station for going into London. He hadn't had time to stop. When i asked why he hadn't warned me that he was going to do that so i would know not to say anything to the children he accused me of being "never available to chat to him on the phone so what was the point in calling?"
I don't want to blow this out of proportion and my gut feeling is telling me to use this as a kick up the butt for both of us they we are not communicating properly, if at all.
I'd be interested though in other unbiased opinions.
And bring it on if necessary, I've got very broad shoulders.
TIA
