husband got back at half 5 this morning

hello,

based on some of the threads on here, I'm assuming I'm going to get a lot of kill joy comments and the fact it's the euros too but I am annoyed.

my partner said he was going for a "couple" last night. I am 4 months pregnant and we have a one year old. I went to bed at about 10 and heard him come in. when I looked at the time, expecting it to be about half 11 as the pubs round here are still shutting earlier than usual it was half 5!

what has pissed me off about this is, one year old has woken up at 7, we went down about half 7 and of course, he is totally dead to the world. he has slept in our spare room downstairs which is something I suppose.

he was meant to be looking after the one year old for me whilst I go out for lunch today but he isnt responding to me at all. or the one year old.

he was out all day for the game last sunday too, was out pretty much the whole of the bank holiday and last Saturday too.

I'm getting fed up now, I'm not going to be able to leave the one year old with him, it is like he is unconscious and I'm meant to be going at 11.

not cool - pre kids, it wouldnt of been an issue but think he needs to grow up a bit. not against having a bit of fun but rocking in at that time when you are supposed to be looking after your child the next day is taking the piss.

has ruined my day too now and he will inevitably be feeling very sorry for himself.

@EarringsandLipstick I know, you would think I had gone on to a thread they had started and made personal remarks. Oh I missed the cutting edge remark about my husband ought to be having an affair too.

The irony continues! They'll get bored soon, someone else will post a thread in AIBu that is more interesting.

No one covers themselves in glory on this thread as far as I can tell

Poorlykitten · 22/06/2021 17:51

Sadly that’s no different from 90% of the threads on here.

Thing is, it's my thread that I started, I responded to posters who for whatever reason that morning decided my thread was the one to attract all the less than desirable posters. Fortunately, I had a few that were helpful but there were a lot of really unpleasant ones too, more than usual I would say and it shows as we are now on page 35 and it is still attracting people like the PP who is now suggesting my husband would be validated in having an affair. I don't think my defending myself is a problem at all, just because someone is an OP doesn't mean they should be a verbal door mat.

And yes, I am the original poster but the reason I said no to that other one (I was half joking) is because they were the poster who commented lots of times nasty, unecessarily malicious things that I managed to ignore for a while until it got to a point it was obvious they were not going to stop.

Scaredycatmoo · 22/06/2021 18:01

I don’t think I have ever come across a more committed OP to their thread. Don’t know whether to be impressed or disturbed!

candyflossss · 22/06/2021 18:12

well, I get the notifications every time someone comments or mentions me and when some of them are as outrageous as they have been it's hard not to respond.

you did ask if I was the original OP too - was just explaining why I said no lol.

Scaredycatmoo · 22/06/2021 18:34

As I say, committed!

I’ll leave you all to it. Nothing useful to add (not that that seems to be a pre req on mumsnet Grin)

AnyName1 · 22/06/2021 18:41

So you're posting under three different names now OP? Totally normal.

zzzzz boring
ToTheLetter01 · 22/06/2021 19:30

Christ the amount of grief you've had OP. I think your feelings were very valid. He was being selfish and not thinking of you and your DD.
When I read threads like this I can see why misogyny is still so rife in society. Posters think women should behave a certain way and accommodate the man. Well no they shouldn't. The OP did nothing wrong.

Garbagepailgal · 22/06/2021 19:36

Op you should take your feistiness on here and apply it to your dh! He wouldn’t pull the same stunt again

Willwebebuyingnumber11 · 22/06/2021 19:46

candyflossss · 22/06/2021 19:48

I'm really really boring too and def packed on a few pounds since being pregnant, that's why he is probably out having an affair.

damn it

Willwebebuyingnumber11 · 22/06/2021 20:07

Who has the child now? I’m assuming you’re tipsy?

drunk as a skunk.

I think shes with the other woman.

CandyLeBonBon · 22/06/2021 20:10

Well this all took an odd turn! Tea anyone? ☕️

Willwebebuyingnumber11 · 22/06/2021 20:11

OP or whoever she is has really shown herself up.
From attempting to appear a reasonable person at the start of the thread to this. Pathetic.
The pair of them sound about 16. To think she’s pregnant again too.

yes I've really embarrassed myself on here. I've definitley commented on a thread 35 pages deep to attempt a really shite "joke" about why my husband goes out until the early hours. it's not my fault you're one liner missed the mark.

It's not the OP that has shown herself up, that shoe fits on others feet.
