to be extremely annoyed with dh ...

RudolphtheBluenosesaintdeer · 16/12/2007 13:22

...for coming home at 9am this morning without so much as a text, never mind a phone call, to let me know that he wasn't coming home at all last night after a night out with 'the boys'!!

And i had to be out of the house to collect a gift for dd at 8am this morning ...needless to say i didn't get the gift i wanted for her

He gave a token apology and a brief explanation as to where he had been, before promptly taking himself off to bed - arrrrrrrghhhh.

So is it me, or am i right to be annoyed because dh thinks i'm making a fuss over nothing (not that i got the chance to even make a fuss ...)??

I would be furious. off to bed! Cheeky b**tard!

Wow - what gift did you need to collect at 8am on a Sunday morning?

LuckyStarOfBethSalem · 16/12/2007 13:25

I don't think you're being unreasonable. I'd have been panicked if DP didn't get home when I thought he was.

Wait till he gets up (loud music is good for hangovers, lol ) and explain it to him, chances are he was a little drunk to take it in this morning.

Yes i really panicked. I woke at 6am with the baby and realised that he wasn't home yet so rang him on his mobile - he put the phone down!!

Rang back and he answered so at least i knew he was safe ...then i got mad

So where had he been then ?

BroccoliSpears · 16/12/2007 13:29

I would be utterly livid. Also crying, not speaking to him, cancelling Christmas and breathing into a paper bag.

Saturn74 · 16/12/2007 13:30

Very annoying.
And inconsiderate of him not to contact you at all.

CarmenerryChristmas · 16/12/2007 13:31

Apparantly he couldn't get a taxi home so slept at this mates.

Didn't get a full story though ...

Thats what i thought, he reckoned it was too late to ring ...i think if he was thinking as considerately as that then surely he could have texted

Binkle - not sure about that

binklebells · 16/12/2007 13:34

I would seriously inclined to send him the spend christmas with his 'mate' then.

Is he for real??

CarmenerryChristmas · 16/12/2007 13:35

Oh dear, I would be furious and more than a little suspicious. There is no excuse for not letting you know he was staying with a friend.

binklebells · 16/12/2007 13:35

Not sure about what? Why he put the phone down?

RudolphtheBluenosesaintdeer · 16/12/2007 13:37

Binkle - Yes, why he put the phone down.

He answered the second time i rang so i didn't dwell on why he didn't answer it the first time ...

At least i know that its not me over-reacting which is what he thinks

binklebells · 16/12/2007 13:39

No I'd be fuming in fact I would take the children up to his bed then take myself out for the day and let him act like a responsible parent instead of a bloody teenager!! I'm fuming for you!!!!

MrsWeasleysmagicmincepies · 16/12/2007 13:41

I'd go for notjustmom suggestion.

He hung up on you Does he do this often? Does he fancy becoming your EX DH?

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 16/12/2007 13:44

I went through this time and time again with EXDP. It's not on. I wouldn't accept his bollocks about it being 'too late' and I certainly wouldn't be impressed with him putting the phone down.
Has he done this before?

MrsWeasleysmagicmincepies · 16/12/2007 13:49

do you know it was actually HIM that put the phone down and not someone else answering his phone. Sorry but I dont beleive the story that he couldnt get a taxi and about it being too late to let you know!
Sorry but he has some major explaining to do!!

RudolphtheBluenosesaintdeer · 16/12/2007 13:50

No, to be fair he hasn't done it before - i may need to do notjustmom's suggestion to make sure he doesn't do it again though ...

How would he react if you stayed out all night and didn't call?

Original poster
RudolphtheBluenosesaintdeer · 16/12/2007 13:53

No i don't know that it was definitely him who put the phone down

I have had no reason to suspect him of being anything other than an inconsiderate prick though ...maybe i'm being naive??
