AIBU to be upset my husband is staying out all night?

So, I'm not sure if i'm just overthinking and being unfair or if this is a valid reason to be upset.
My DH and I have two children who are 3 months and 2 years old, he doesn't work on Fridays, so does most of the childcare then, of course I am around, I breastfeed our youngest but the majority is done by him then the weekend more of a split.

Today is his colleagues leaving drinks, I understood he would be out late, and likely no use for the start of tomorrow, I planned my day around this. But he has just messaged saying he won't make the last train, so is going to stay out, then a few of them will go to the casino to kill the dead hours before the first train. He doesn't usually go to the casino, but I know of his colleagues do.

I'm really pissed off as even if he is being totally honest, this will mean he needs to sleep all day tomorrow, mess up his sleep schedule entirely etc.
More importantly, I have a feeling he isn't being honest, he has a new colleague a younger woman, I know she lives in central London, she is very attractive and I just have this gut instinct that he might not be giving the whole truth, they have been going for lunch/after work drinks together a fair bit the last 2 months and now he is just not coming home?
Not to mention, even missing the last train he could just get a cab home instead of loitering around, yes it would be expensive, but I don't imagine spending time in the casino will be free?

AIBU to be worried and concerned?

Lunch and after work drinks with a woman when he has a wife, a 2 year old and a newborn

Nope!

I mean what could possibly go wrong!

anyone who did this to me would be out - he’s not reliable or honest from the sounds of it and really disrespectful for you at home with 2 young kids, he’s taking the piss

be good to yourself and get rid of this looser
