DH going on a roadtrip

We have moved cross country, fairly recently, with baby and toddler. DH has declared he is going back to home town. For a few days.
I've mentioned the fact he isn't actually allowed to, plus he's taking risk to shielding parents and bringing back risk to us.
I've said it's not my decision to make, but think it's not responsible.
Am I being horribly controlling and irrational or is he being a twat?

So he is putting friends and family at risk and if you don't put up with it he will sulk?
You are so anxious about the sulking you just keep quiet?
He sounds awful.
Sulking is a big red flag IMO.

To be honest, moving away has exacerbated his moods. He used to just go out most evenings, now obviously he doesn't have his mum and friends to disappear to and can't "work late" (go for a smoke) wfh gaahhh!!! He'll be back in the office soon, so hopefully not having to see us all day will help matters Hmm

Why did you move?

So he prefers to be out most of the time instead of doing any parenting. What's the point of him exactly?

Ah he's a stoner. Explains a lot. Selfish twat. I hope you can find a way to live a better life than with this idiot OP.

Not least for driving while under the influence of drugs, I assume then too?

The move was work related. Obviously I miss my friends, our toddler misses their friends, we're all missing grandparents and them us, but we just wouldn't do it.
It's done now. It's certainly highlighted a self centredness that I thought he was growing out of and has made me rethink the idea of having any more children.
