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.

You're a drunk 51-year-old woman having a tantrum. Your husband won't feel guilty about you sitting on the curb all night because he'll be too annoyed at you trying to be manipulative. Go home.

Having visions of sloshed OP lying on the kerb outside the pub listening to lonely by Akon 😂

It takes 40 minutes to walk two miles. You posted at midnight and updated at 1:40 to say you were still sitting there. Why? You could have been home in less than half the time. Get up, walk home.

People keep saying it takes 30-40 mins to walk two miles, but that would be a pretty fast walking speed of 3-4 mph - fast for an average height female. It would take me an hour, easily. Two miles is quite a long way, especially if you're the worse for wear.

Yelling at passersby about how her husband abandoned her and now she has to sleep on the streets.

Shutupyoutart · 16/11/2024 02:40

op I really hope you are at home or at least en route. yes your husband was a dick for leaving you on your own vulnerable in the middle of the night but he has. hes gone home and safe in bed now I sincerely home you are by now too but if not please get off the curb and just get a taxi home or at least to your friends. have it out with dh in the morning.

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

He might not be asleep - he might be watching tv and waiting for his kebab to be delivered.

What a lot of shit. Ignore this post. I’d put money on it your H is selfish, self centred and some sort of man child. No decent man would ever leave the woman they live in a vulnerable situation even if she was being difficult. I imagine there has been other things that have led to this point. I hope you are ok.

Well said. I can’t believe all the mean comments on this thread

3-4mph is a bang average walking speed. A 20 minute mile is considered a fairly leisurely pace.

Are you safe now OP. Please can you update to let us know.

I understand how you would see it as an issue If you are also unable to get yourself home from a night out and choose to lie on the ground if a man isnt there to escort you.

Quintette · 16/11/2024 02:49

Get a taxi you weirdo

OP is 51 years old with 15 year old kids according to a thread she started a couple of days ago.

OP, c'mon what would you tell your kids to do in this situation.

Lord I'm 50 with a 14 year old. No way in hell am I sleeping on the curb much less have enough energy for all the drama lol

Even if there isn’t a big strong man around to protect you outside the pub that was safe when you were inside but has suddenly become a hive of villainy and treachery now you’ve decided to lounge on the pvement? 😂

Boopadoop90 · 16/11/2024 01:04

He was in a huff but don't know why. 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. I'm in the cold, shivering, a good 2 miles away

You’ll have certainly have taught him a lesson. He’s at home in a warm bed and you’re sat shivering on the curb.
😉😁😁.

Boopadoop90 · 16/11/2024 03:00

I walked home. V cold ! And dark

At least your safe and your Dh respects your wishes

Mummyoflittledragon · 16/11/2024 03:01

Good I’m glad you’re home. This is something to talk about. Preferably in the afternoon or even Sunday when you’ve both completely sobered up and the hangover has gone.

So glad you are safely home OP. Your DH shouldn’t have left you on your own.

batmansknickers · 16/11/2024 03:10

You know, I actually thought for moment that this was a troll, and it might well still be one; thing is that there are people around that are ACTUALLY this utterly mad.

"I'll stay out all night in the cold that'll learn im!"

garlictwist · 16/11/2024 03:10

This all sounds a bit dramatic. Just walk home or get a taxi.

You could have walked home with him, or if not actually "with" him you still could have followed him home. YABU.

People don’t always act in the most logical or sensible manner. If you look at the other recent post by the OP, it is clear that she is struggling with her life at the moment so it wouldn’t kill other people to show her a bit of empathy instead of piling on to berate her actions.
