DP messaged to say he’s staying out late and is clearly drunk

[Covidiom]

We had vague plans to stay in and order a takeaway. We have a 3yo and 4 month old. AIBU to have the takeaway and wine anyway?

YANBU, get enough for your lunch tomorrow too!

I would 🙋🏽‍♀️

Bloody hell YANBU at all. Have your takeaway and wine! And chocolate too whilst you’re at it!

@CanofCant you are an absolute genius!

@FlyingPandas he ate the last of the chocolate before he left. Should I LTB?

Haha, enjoy your night! If the kids are ok/ sleeping through then go for it!
I'm thinking now that I should partake in a glass of something lol

Of course. Aren’t you annoyed he’s gone out on the piss instead of having a takeaway with you?

More wine and takeaway for you.

Goodness yes, do that. You might even enjoy it in more peace. Assuming him going out isn't a huge problem in the grand scheme as the takeaway and wine is your first concern?! All
the more for you I say!!

What takeaway are you going to have ?

Have a feast! What you going to buy?

@SukonthaM not really, it’s a rare occasion for him to be able to let his hair down (well metaphorical hair- he actually has no hair) and he’d 100% encourage me to do the same if I wanted to.

@BigGooseyLucy Chinese. It’s already winging its way towards me (I hope). Kung pao chicken, beef chow mein and special fried rice.

Any prawn crackers?

There'll be accusations of cool wifery if you're not careful!

In seriousness, I find this thread most refreshing

Absolutely have the wine and takeaway.

When I was married to shitty exh, I made the mistake of thinking I needed his permission / company to do those things. It’s been a whole new lease of life knowing that I don’t need that!

@MinnieJackson of course. The prawn crackers were the first thing I demolished

@ViciousJackdaw there was nothing cool wife about me earlier when I discovered he’d washed dd’s white dress with his jeans 😡 .. but I feel quite strongly that the carefree sense of fun and freedom that you have before you become a parent should still be allowed to be experienced on occasion. I would feel very trapped if I thought I could never have that again even if it is just for short periods. Also I have had all manner of drunken proclamations of love throughout the evening via WhatsApp.

I love this thread. How's his hangover? Nothing a leftover Chinese won't solve I hope.

He slept on the couch so he wouldn’t wake me up and woke up at 7 when the kids did full of excitement about the fun night he had. He actually brilliant on a hangover- he goes into overdrive cleaning and getting jobs done.. then he’ll crash mid afternoon on the sofa watching films with the kids. I can’t complain really!

Haha I’d be sending him out more often!!
