Just that really. We were out with friends, going back to theirs. Dh refused to back to theirs but I don't know why. The others left in a cab. I couldn't leave dh alone in the pub. I I said I'm going home. He said OK. Followed me out in a fit and angry, cos he felt obliged to follow me. He's walked home. I'm 2 miles away from homre and sitting in the cold shivering
He messaged me to ask if I got an uber home. I said no, he said good we've spent £x on uber tonight.

He's walked home and I'm sitting on the kerb, 2 miles away in the dark, cold.

go home your a grown women! Drunk or not get over yourself. You’re doing this to yourself no wonder he went home!! I assume your only just 18?

lovemyboyz247 · 16/11/2024 02:03

He's gone, he's home and gone to sleep. He doesn't care you are there on your own
Do not sit there pondering why.

Show him you didn't need him to get home.
It's 2am. You need to get yourself home. Please call an Uber. Stop thinking about him. Think about your safety and your son.

How could dh walk off knowing he had left me late at night? Then go home and fall asleep ?

The answer to the first question is because you told him to.
From your earlier post... "I said I'm going home, he v reluctantly followed me I said don't bother. He said he wanted to walk home alone. So I let him".

To answer your second question... becaue he's pissed and pissed off with you.
You're also pissed as your not making any sense at all.
Stop moping.
Take responsibility for your own safety.
Get a cab home.
Your children are there and they will need their mother in the morning.

Organise a taxi now.

You're both drunk - just get in a taxi home you don't need to sleep on the kerb.

DurinsBane · 16/11/2024 01:07

To be fair, it is a lot safer with her husband than walking on her own. Walking on her own at 1am on a Friday night for 2 miles isn’t the safest thing to do

Nope. Sarah Everard walked 2.5 miles in the dark alone and look what happened.

Pickandmixmood · 16/11/2024 02:07

Please don’t put yourself at risk OP. There could be any perverts out at that time of night.

Probably knew you’d be just fine sitting on the kerb holding a great big self-pity party until you got too bored or cold and would then call an Uber to take you home like every other adult woman in the world.

DemocracyR · 16/11/2024 02:10

For goodness sake, walk home. You’re all clearly pissed. You’re going to sleep on a kerb instead of walking? Give yourself a shake! Get up and go home.

Yeah that is what I am saying? It isn’t safe for her to walk home alone at this time if the night

DurinsBane · 16/11/2024 02:11

You haven’t answered why you can’t get a taxi?

but if the op had come on here and said she said x to her dh and he ignored her then he would be disrespecting her and not listening to her etc

GettingStuffed · 16/11/2024 02:11

I must be the only person here who understands. It's the sort of shit I used to do.

Give yourself another hour to get really really cold, then decide to go home and sulk all day tomorrow as you got so cold.

Or you could do the grown up thing and either get a cab now or walk rather waiting until you have to do it.

But she’s posting on Mumsnet that she’ll sleep on the kerb, instead of just fizzing. I’ve got bigger concerns for the child right now than she seems to

LilacLilyBird · 16/11/2024 02:14

You're an adult you can get yourself home 🤷‍♀️

You're being petty and manipulative

Well the childs father is at home, so not sure why you are concerned.

LoneStar7 · 16/11/2024 02:15

Ah the wine rage.

belzs · 16/11/2024 02:16

Get yourself home op ! Then argue with him in the morning if you want to. Not sure what you are trying to achieve by spending the night outside

poormenagain · 16/11/2024 02:17

Don't risk your safety in the hope of teaching him a lesson. Get home, or to a safe place. Get an Uber, a taxi, call a friend, walk to a friend's house, check into a hotel for the night - only you know what's possible where you are.

Later when you're both sober, talk about what happened so you each understand what the other was thinking and you can determine if there's a problem (besides everybody having drunk too much). Generally, though - (1) of course you could have gone with your friends and left him if he didn't want to come, unless he was really incapacitated. (2) If the two of you planned to walk home together, it was arsey of him to insist on going alone. If he doesn't understand that already he's probably not that great a partner. (3) Of course you can take an Uber home under the circs, if you can get one.

penmanship · 16/11/2024 02:17

Look at the replies on this thread, OP - no one is outraged on your behalf for how your DH has “left” you. Not one person is agreeing with you on “how could he do this” and how terrible it is that you now have to sit on the curb.

EVERYONE is telling you to get up and get yourself home, because you are perfectly capable of doing that.

Doesn’t it tell you something about the situation? Seriously OP, you’re 51 years old, stop deliberately putting yourself in danger (because YOU are doing that, not your DH) and go home.

gokartdillydilly · 16/11/2024 02:18

Are you home yet? Asking for a friend...

Pickandmixmood · 16/11/2024 02:18

I’m concerned about the OP, I can understand why she is upset that her husband doesn’t seem to care that she is out alone in the middle of the night.
Please get yourself home OP as you will regret it if you get attacked
