To be furious with DH for this?

Coffeecherrymama · 25/04/2026 22:05

First night home since giving birth and DH has gone out with his mates drinking and still isn’t home and he isn’t answering any calls or messages. He didn’t give me any choice, he just said he was going out with his “mates” and then left and said he would be back before 10pm but he’s still not home! I’m so angry that he has just left me here with our newborn when he knows I’m struggling but his mum says I’m overreacting and that he’s “entitled to a night out”! I feel like I could just cry to be honest! AIBU?

His mum is saying he’s “entitled” to a night out and “entitled to celebrate the baby” but I’m absolutely furious

Your MIL is the reason the 'boy mum's stereotype was invented. I would be mortified and livid if my son did that and would march him home from the pub myself.

YANBU OP in the slightest.

I’m so sorry OP, no one should have to go through with this. Sounds to me like you have an extra child to deal with. Long term you’ll find it easier without him around, it sounds like he just creates mess and chaos.

Plan A- let him go to Ibiza ,change locks. get your sister to pack his stuff & take to his mums. Realise its over.

Plan B- same as plan A

Good plan !

Yeah sounds unlikely doesn’t it.

Figgygal · 26/04/2026 14:12

he's got 2 kids at 25 it's hardly a surprise he's showing himself too be immature

PurpleLovecats · 26/04/2026 14:15

Trading all your updates, this would be the end of my relationship with him.

I have no idea why you’re engaging with his mum, he’s not her responsibility and she’s clearly an enabler do she’s not going to show you any sympathy,

Go it alone, he’s not worthy of you all.

What an absolute fucking twat he is.

Yes. Why wouldn't they? Not all of us use smartphones or even when we have them use the net. Mine can't even do QR codes, for example. Have no idea why. Many of us still prefer paper ones and demand them even if we have a smartphone. Something nice about having paper tickets to keep as a keepsake in a memory folder/box. Can't do that with a bloomin screen.

DP going to vote Reform. We have never agreed on politics, but this is just shit. I don't know how I feel about him tbh. Im voting Green. I have said please dont tell anyone, i would be mortified! Don't really know what I'm asking here. Just wanted to get it off my chest and see what others think.

Maybe better off making a thread about that instead of in here?

I couldn’t get past this I’m afraid, how awful for you OP 💐💐

can we get past the printed tickets please 😆 maybe his mate booked it for a load of them & gave them all a hard copy as they’re travelling to the airport separately.

He has probably always been selfish but op didnt notice until she had to be completely selfless as she became default parent.

He’s booked Ibiza! 😂😂😂
This didn’t come out of the blue. OP must be trolling or missing out a HUGE back story.

Is he using his paternity leave for Ibiza?

Looks like it!

Coffeecherrymama · 26/04/2026 14:41

His father still isn’t here to pick him up yet!

Nah it’s same old same old. She knew. They are always this bad, but many women choose to go along with it. She’ll forgive him and probably have a third.

Can you get your father to pick him up, read him the riot act, and dump him at his fathers?

MustWeDoThis · 26/04/2026 14:43

Can you get one of his friends to take him, or put him in a taxi, or get your sister to take him to his parents? Shred the tickets and change the locks, if you do.

TutTutTutSigh · 26/04/2026 14:44

Who prints out tickets anymore?

Nope they don’t even do paper boarding passes let alone proper tickets

@Coffeecherrymama tickets for Ibiza on Tuesday 🤔 I’m starting to think this thread can’t be true.

It can. My ExH booked himself into a health spa for the whole of the second week after my DD was born. He 'needed it to recover from the stress of the birth'. I divorced him a couple of years later. I then found out much later that he had taken a so called friend of mine with him.

Meteorite87 · 26/04/2026 14:48

So along with not giving you any support when you are straight out of hospital; he chose to ignore your frantic messages causing you anxiety, and he has created rank mess that you cannot ignore.
