DH ‘I’m not coming home.’

DH is out tonight. Someone at work is celebrating their 40th birthday.
They went to a golf club this afternoon and had lunch and drinks after. They’ve now gone into London. DH has just messaged me this:
‘Don’t wait up for me. I’m not coming home.’
I asked why.
His reply ‘crashing at work mates flat because it’s closer’ (he then said where it was. It’s 3 stops on the train before our stop. Hmm
AIBU to be annoyed at this??

Sounds like a drunk rationale…

Timeforredwine · 28/08/2021 23:29

Enjoy your day tom - he wont with that hangover!

Stigsmother · 28/08/2021 23:34

OP, he is pissed as a fart, and in his befuddled brain it's a lot easier to just stay with the pack, let someone else fumble with the door key, and be pointed to his bed/futon/settee.
We've all done it at some pointBlush
Enjoy the having bed to yourself

I think they are going to ‘try’ to book a hotel

I cant imagine they will have much success to be honest

I wouldn't want my husband to come home if he's been out day drinking and it's this time at night, he's a massive pain in the arse when he's drunk.

SpindleWhorl · 28/08/2021 23:40

Oh no hang on, that makes sense, another place that will let them in?

letsmakethishappen · 28/08/2021 23:45

I’d be happy with this OP. Get a nice sleep free of alcohol smell

ChaneySays · 28/08/2021 23:48

Jesus Christ! It’s a 40th birthday party. An event where people...y’know...have a party and get shitfaced. Especially after being locked down for most of the last 18 months.

Ridiculous that people immediately assume cocaine and affairs. I’d wager half the doom mongers on here are just jealous singletons who haven’t had a shag in five years.

LochinverSwimmingPool · 28/08/2021 23:48

OP, if he is staying out because he has started a raunchy affair with Sally (or Judy, Rick or the man in the kebab house) he is a fool, because you sound like a splendid partner, with plenty of good humour and an ability to see beyond some people's immediate responses that he is having an affair.
Which I really, really doubt. He has got drunk. That's all.

saraclara · 28/08/2021 23:57

(...he is staying out because he has started a raunchy affair with Sally (or Judy, Rick or the man in the kebab house)*

Don't tell me Mehmet's involved too?

Livvielo · 29/08/2021 00:03

@minitwister

Rick isn't allowed in here as he's got trainers on, going to find somewhere that will allow him in.
Are you sally? GrinGrin

@Livvielo

I definitely should not have posted here though. Because now my husband must be fucking sally the receptionist or going back to his mates racking up a few lines. Grin
From what you said, originally, he’s stayed out because he doesn’t want to disturb you. Whatever happened to ‘face value’.?
Livvielo · 29/08/2021 00:08

@Peabodi

Oh god OP I want you to be my best friend 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can I stay over at yours though? 😂😂

Yeah, bloody Ricky and his trainers have stopped them getting into a certain nightclub.

He's going to be sore tomorrow!

Kiduknot · 29/08/2021 00:21

He just wants to carry the evening on.
I’d probably do that too if I was having a good time.

Do you trust him?

MrsPerfect12 · 29/08/2021 00:22

No, this is exactly what is going to happen. He will rock up bright and fucking breezie at 1045.... ZERO hangover! just before OP calls IL to say lunch is cancelled and has to still endure lunch!!!

reighn · 29/08/2021 00:33

Question is.. did he come home this morning?

U2HasTheEdge · 29/08/2021 00:36

@reighn

Question is.. did he come home this morning?
Well.. he is still out partying!
reighn · 29/08/2021 00:41

@U2HasTheEdge YOUR JOKING?!!! From yesterday night?F**k THAT!!!

U2HasTheEdge · 29/08/2021 00:42

[quote reighn]**@U2HasTheEdge* YOUR JOKING?!!! From yesterday night?F*k THAT!!![/quote]
He went out this evening!

Plumtree391 · 29/08/2021 00:44

If he is only three stops away from you by tube but doesn't feel safe travelling on a train, he could get a taxi.

I don't think I'd be very impressed, frankly.

reighn · 29/08/2021 00:47

@U2HasTheEdge I'm so thick.. I literally seen it said " yesterday post" it's Sunday now that's why ffs😂

Grin Easily done! It made me smile.

CoasterCoaster · 29/08/2021 01:01

minitwister's translation is exactly what DH said the message meant, he obviously speaks drunk better than I do Grin

CallmeHendricks · 29/08/2021 01:02

Never mind the rest of it, what has he done with his golf clubs?
