Pregnancy husband and night out

18 replies

yvonneb13 · 04/12/2022 02:49

Hi everyone coming on here at this time for a rant more than anything before I go mad at DH we had a mutual friends party tonight and I'm 7 months pregnant so I was driving DH was drinking and he said we'd leave about 10-10:30 I thought great that came round and it's just for later and later now 2:45am and I've just walked the door and because Im tired and feel sore I'm the problem it's my fault I can't let him have fun!! I know it's probably the drink talking he doesn't drink often but when he does he does it properly. I had to drop multiple people off before I got home I was a "party pooper" also at one point but I'm so angry about it I know he's aloud to have fun but I think he should of been a bit more considerate of me especially cause I'm carrying his child. I am gonna talk to him tomorrow once the alcohol has wore up and he'll be getting no sympathy of me that's for sure!!!!!

Ouch. I would be livid! Hope you get plenty of rest now you poor thing

Magenta65 · 04/12/2022 03:02

You should have been firmer, by 12 I’d of been saying I’m going, either you come with me or make your own arrangements. He’s really is out of order

lamaze1 · 04/12/2022 03:04

Yanbu. I'd have left at 10:30 in your position leaving husband to make alternative arrangements. Obviously too late for you to do that now but in your position I'd be having a very frank talk once he sobers up.

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 04/12/2022 03:06

Why didn’t you just drive yourself home at 10pm and leave him to it? When I was pregnant there’s no way I’d have had the patience for pissheads til nearly 3am, I’d have told my DH that he can come home with me now or along his hook and get a taxi

HoppingPavlova · 04/12/2022 03:07

Why not just leave at 10.30pm and leave him to it?

yvonneb13 · 04/12/2022 03:10

forgot to mention it was 1.5 hours away from our house

Oh fuck that I’d have been saying stay here make your own way home whenever.

Mamai90 · 04/12/2022 03:15

You're mad for even staying. 1.5 hours away from home, so what? They had no consideration for you so why should you have any for them? Wouldn't care if they were pissed of not, that's really selfish and I'd be fuming. You should have left them to it.

Herejustforthisone · 04/12/2022 03:21

Well, he’s an unbelievably selfish cunt.

Shoxfordian · 04/12/2022 03:28

Is he always like this when he drinks? Hope you can get some rest now op

StClare101 · 04/12/2022 03:36

He could have slept there and got a lift home the next day. I would have left at midnight at the absolute latest. I wouldn’t have made a big deal about it, just “I’m going now, either come with me or get a lift with someone else”.

WineCap · 04/12/2022 07:46

Another vote for 'I would have ditched him at midnight'. What a dick.

FriendsDrinkBook · 19/07/2023 11:05

Exh was like this. He didn't change when our baby arrived either. The op might have to get used to being the designated party proper aka responsible adult going forward. Either that or lay down the law and leave if he doesn't change.

So why didn't you leave when you wanted too? That was your choice not too

yvonneb13 · 19/07/2023 11:19

Thanks everyone for your replies. This was in December of the next morning was met with lots and lots of grovelling and we've never had any more issues. We have a Beautiful 5.5month old. I guess I didn't want to leave him stranded i have no idea i should
Of left him to it and left but I didn't. Xx

Hi all,
Just flagging to you all that this is a post from a few months ago. Do continue to post if you like, but you may find the OP is elsewhere.

HopeMumsnet · 19/07/2023 11:21

Oh! Or not, as the case may be!
