Dh’s work lunch was at 12, when would you expect him home

[Lightswontstopflashing]

If it was you?

Not expect as in, he has to be home a certain time, but 5.30 now and still not back..,almost 6 hours at a work lunch 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s a 10 minute drive away

Why don’t you just message him

I usually anticipate it to be around 12 hours in total, so for a lunch about midnight/one a.m.

If he wants me to pick up him though it's got to be a Reasonable Hour (one a.m latest).

Knowing mine, midnight

😂😂 knew it! No back story. Just know what he’s like after a few drinks. If it helps he also stalks me when I’m out. We’re happy in our little controlling relationship!

This isn’t meant to sound mean, but I never really get why people are are wondering when OH’s will be home like this? Unless you specifically have agreed they need to be home at a certain time to allow you go out, I say let them crack on and enjoy a cosy night of takeaway and tv to yourself (luxury!!)! FWIW, my non-drinking hubby’s party was 12.30pm lunch and he was home at 9.30 - really just depends on the vibe on the day and how well all colleagues are getting on! X

I'd be surprised to see him before 8pm. Would likely be 10pm at the latest though if he started at lunch. Normally with a dodgy Chinese takeaway in hand that he eats none of.

Midnight

Our lunch goes on forever

Starts at 1pm, usually get served food at 2pm.

Then we have all the speeches about how great we've all been.

Then we give out secret santa presents and we have to go up one at a time and open in front of everyone so it goes on and on

Then we have to play games / quizzes etc

Then they drag us all to a bar

Even driving the earliest I've got home is about 8.30 those drinking tend to head home anywhere between 10.00 and midnight. The youngsters usually end up in a club so could be anytime

I could not stand to be in a relationship with someone who was funny about when I come home.

This

Thursday?

Cocaine: the following afternoon 😂

In my experience as a young person, going out for a boozy lunch doesn't make hometime earlier than if it was dinner ,🤦‍♀️

When he's done.

Last week he came home at 8. Last year he came home from his work lunch at 3am. I was worried he had fallen into a diabetic coma but he had decided to have a moonlit stroll home for 3 hours rather than pay for a taxi.

Around midnight.

Probably about 3 am

midnight, although if he's not pre-booked a taxi maybe a lot later, depending on how long it takes to get one

My DH would have given me a rough idea before he went, and if that changed he would text and let me know. It's just common courtesy, I would do the same for him.

There was very similar thread on here recently where someone's husband came back very late from a Christmas lunch without so much as a text or any heads up leaving the OP to deal with children alone wondering where he'd got to and the consensus was from the majority of posters said he had done nothing wrong. (I know!)

I'd take any advice on here with a whole salt shaker of salt as many people these days don't believe that letting another half know a rough ballpark of when to expect them home is good manners. Or maybe there's just an exception for work dos as of course they are THE event of the year. (Ha!)

Of course things go out the window sometimes but a message doesn' take long to send.

When did he say he'd be back? (Roughly) we're not going to be concerned about exacts tonight.

I dunno, I lived in SE Asia for a few years and once met a friend for a 6am dog walk and breakfast (because it was hot). Got back around 11pm. Dog was shattered 😂 breakfast cocktails are dangerous...

When everywhere closes :)

Midnight maybe little later

5/6

So neither of you trust each other…nice.

I guess it’s good you’re both insecure.
Hopefully it balances it out.
