Husband out til 6am on a weeknight

[whatwouldtheydo]

Long story short, he was at a work do. Black tie event. Didn't get home til 6am. Was in a casino apparently. AIBU to be thinking that's a bit OTT and if tables were turned there would be a raised eyebrow? Or am I the killjoy? Fuming.

Does he have work today? Family responsibilities? Is he incapable?

It's a bit late but as a one-off I'm not sure I'd be too bothered by it.

I'd be more worried about being in a casino than the 6am arrival home, we went to one on a work night out years ago & one bloke rinsed through £500 in minutes

what’s the long story? 🫤

Depends how much he won!

Is he going to be handling heavy machinery today or not pulling his weight with the kids?

Sounds like a one off so don’t let it bother you. If he has work today it’s his problem if he’s tired or hung over

If it was a regular thing then you'd have a point. But as a one off it's nothing I'd get worked up about. Unless he just gambled away £££££

waiting for the inevitable 💧

Hope he wasn't chasing his losses.

Hope he isn’t driving. Did he let you know he would be very late home?

One off work event? I couldn’t get upset about it.

I’d chuckle at the state of him and chuck him some water, paracetamol and toast and crack on with my day - even if it meant I had to deal with unexpected child care issues etc.

Regular / repeated problem and my response would differ.

I'd be more worried about the bank balance

As a one off I’d be surprised but not annoyed; and also slightly envious that he has the stamina to be out all night as I do not

Agree with others as a one off I wouldn’t be bothered about this. Not sure I would even notice the time unless the Ring doorbell grassed him up!

You've left out a lot of information such as why you are fuming? And the bit about the tables being turned what's all that about?

You say in a casino " apparently " OP.
Sounds as though you don't really believe him. Have you reason to think he is lying?

If it was a casino I'd be worried about the money spent.

If you think he's lying I'd be very worried about where he really was.

This.

Personally it’s not something I’d brush off.

My work dos used to be like this. As a one off I wouldn't be worried.

What's the actual issue?

Why are you fuming? Unless this was happening all the time I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest. Both myself and DH have blow outs from time to time. Completely normal and no big deal.

Do you not believe him?

As a one off, not an issue for me.
