AIBU, DH, the white lie and pettiness

[PollyRockets]

So today DH has been out helping a friend move

This was planned, but I was told he would be home by 3/4 as he left early to get started in the morning.

To be a nice wife I then book us in for a meal at 18:00 as he will have been working hard all day and you know, I also like other people cooking for me (not selfless)

At 15:15 I called to check how everything was going, see if there was any gossip he'd be bringing back and to make sure he had eaten lunch (he is one of those people who can last all day without eating as he 'forgets' and tbh in this heat I was worried)

He was just finishing said lunch and told me he would be leaving in a minute.

It's now 17:00 and he has just left the town his friend is in. It will take him at least 45 mins to an hour to get home.

Thus making us late for dinner (as it's a 25 min drive to the restaurant)

I am raging

So onto my AIBU as I hope no one would say I'm unreasonable for being pissed off at the above.

I have called the restaurant and changed the booking to 18:45. WIBU to still act as if the booking was for 18:00 and to dine out on my pissed offness all evening so he makes it up to me via gifts and/or superior sex?

I wanted the sausage egg and chips.

No sausage so went for the porky alternate!

And you have to pay for the extra egg

Who said it was a special dinner?

It’s implied by the restaurant needing booking, the rage about changing it, the “to be a nice wife”, the “rare” child-free time, the entire thread…

I can’t be the only one who’s hoping that the “DH” is late because he’s been spending the afternoon fucking someone else …… I’m sure the “Border Biscuits” will make up for it

@stuntbubbles

Well that'll teach you to assume

Also even the harvester round here requires a booking on a Sunday evening!

Let's blame the pregnancy hormones and hope you aren't too embarrassed when you look back on how mental this is 😳

Jesus Christ, poor man

Ahaha

What my dad says regularly!

He loves it though

Maybe he is a masochist

It would be very early for us. We eat at 8pm on a normal night and during this jjhot weather it's been more like 9pm. No children at home now, but we've always eated together at about 8 after the children have gone to bed.

I was expecting to read he's gone on the piss with his mate. He's just a bit late, moving is usually an all day affair. It's not like he's forgotten to pick the kids up. You really need to chill 🙄

@knittingaddict ah 8/9 is pudding time here!

And you need to develop a sense of humour

Going by your responses, you’ve spent more of your child-free night with us than DH. You seem more invested in playing to the crowd here than making the most of tonight. As a pp said, maybe it’s the hormones 🤷‍♀️, either way, I’d file under ‘good idea at the time’.

Well it was a good idea

I got what I wanted so win!

Given that restaurants bookings are most busy at 7pm approx, im thinking 5 or 6 is not the most common time to have dinner

I was going to write, that instinctively I get your point, but you haven't articulated it well. Then I saw this post from you, which on here is a drip feed. So your first childfree weekend in a long time, yes I would absolutely be pissed off. You should have included that in your first post.

YABU because helping people move always goes on all day and into the night.

I also can't get my head around the 5pm/6pm dinner time

This post is no surprise, the OP was mocking someone on here recently for having no friends to go out with on their birthday. Clearly not a particularly pleasant person.

Who mocked anyone?

I asked if she had any friends, to go out with

Maybe you can work on your reading comprehension pal

@PollyRockets in a nasty way other people picked up on it.

You drip fed a little bit! You didn’t mention he had been out the day before or that you were pregnant but either way you seem dramatic!!
