DH not speaking to me because I went out

Met a friend yesterday for a few drinks, met around 2. DH had DD2 and DSS. I was initially only supposed to be out a couple of hours, but I haven't been out in over a year (if I ever go anywhere DD always comes with me) and was just enjoying being me, so a couple of hours led to 4 hours and I was a little bit drunk (didn't take much as haven't drank since before DD was born. H went mad last n8ght saying I was supposed to be a couple of hours and he was stuck with the kids, then just basically snuffed me so I went to bed. This morning I got up with DD and he's barely speaking to me.
AIBU for going out and being out longer then i said I would??

but I think that common courtesy would call fora message when a change of plan has changed. I would do it for a friend or colleague, and I’d do it for my husband“

So would I, Ursula82. It’s not difficult, everyone has a cell phone. Seems that common courtesy is a thing of the past, though 🤷‍♀️

Odd isn’t it

If the op had started this thread about being two hours later than she had said she’d be but replace DH with friend or colleague or indeed anyone … the the consensus would have been that inconsiderate and rude.

”having a great time, will be a couple of hours later than I said x”

job done

OP, you've accepted that you maybe should have let him know you were going to be longer, but unless you both or he had plans later that afternoon based on the info you've given here I really don't see the problem. We all need a bit of time off and it sounds like you give him the opportunity to too even if he decides not to bother. If he said to you "well you could have called" I think he'd be reasonable, but his reaction is completely OTT.

I am also one of the first to point out where I think swapping the genders would lead to different consensus and I really think it does happen from time to time on this forum, but I really don't think a man who hadn't been out for more than a year who came home a couple of hours later than planned would be slaughtered here.

Would late comers to a thread please at least read the OPs posts? The husband doesn't care about being kept informed, he never raises it as an issue when she's out with the kids. He isn't sulking about that now either..he's fed up because he was "stuck with HIS" kids. I've been on MN for over a decade and have never seen a thread where a woman has complained about looking after her own children for an extra two hours when it didn't impinge her plans because her husband went out for the first time in a year. Yes, plenty where men go out all the time, or stay out all night or are late and ruin the wife's plans or stay out and get so drunk they're too hungover to function the next day, but none of those are comparable.

Latecomers?
Commented pages ago.

Been on MN for 30 years. Is there a competition ? 😁

Sorry, no, but people seem to still be fixating on the lack of text which has already been acknowledged and also explained as not the problem. Also the reference to 'if it was reversed it would be different ' has also been covered already.

Did you clock my posts @ForfuckssakeEXHstopbeingatwat

because the Op has very recently started a few threads on the poor mental health of her DH. Something she chose to omit in this thread

Everanewbie · 23/01/2023 10:56

@ForfuckssakeEXHstopbeingatwat should maybe take the advice her username offers to her ex.

Not sure why it's twatty to point out that on p10 the thread will have moved on somewhat, but this seems to have reached a natural conclusion so I'll bow out.
