To want to take the car?

[LuckySalem]

If you've read this saga before you'll probably know that I know i'm not being unreasonable but am peed off so sounding off abit. (You'd think i'd have got over it considering it was at 11am this morning but no)

I've arranged to go take DD to see some of my friends down in eastbourne for 2 nights, 3 days. I'm leaving early Sunday and returning late Tuesday so that means DP will have to find a way to get to work at least 2 nights (probably 3)

I told him this and he got huffy - TODAY he said "you will be home for me to go to work on Tuesday night won't you?" I said I don't know i'm not gonna rush. So again cue huffy man "well how am I gonna know if I can get to work?" I don't know, arrange it that i'm not gonna be here and if I am you can take the car "well what if i'm already walking?" Then your walking. Well you better make sure you're at the store for 1am when I have lunch so I can have the car.

Excuse me!?!??! I may not even be home then but even if I was you think i'm gonna either wait up or get up again to come to the shop so you can have the car when DD (6 months old) is probably going to be sleeping?

FFS - It's only 1.5 miles, Get on a bike!!!!

I've mentioned a bike to him before and he's said it's too far and he's always knackered in the morning.

Why should I be bothered by that? Why the hell can't he cope for 3 nights to get someone to give him a lift if he's THAT tired?

Grrr

er walk

i am without a car
temporarily it is havinbg a shocking holiday from me in garage in london costing an estimated 2200

for example i have a climbing class on monday night and its 3 miles away so i walk there and back or in fact run part the worst bit is trhje canal and rasilway bushes parta coming back

It doesn't sound like you're being unreasonable- 1.5 miles is nothing! My 3 year old toddler walks that every day! If he's really that tired, could he get a taxi? Remind him that he will have the house, the TV and the remote control all to himself for a few days- that should straighten his face for him!

him walk i mean lol

I wish he would understand that he gets all this stuff to do but he just sees it as me "galavanting" off again.

Even though i've asked him to come but he won't cos he's already been there and done that.

well just fait accompli

huh? lol

er tell him no

Oh sorry - Dull. Yeh I have i'm just annoyed that he's being so arsey with me.

Like I said just had to winge! lol

tell him you will leave the car and take bus but you could not take baby and all stuff so he will have baby too and you will have a few days yourself! see if he will walk then?

whinge away- huffy men are whinge-worthy! Is he going to have to cook his own dinner while you are away? Wash his own socks? pick up his own clothes? Maybe he is just being a bit arsey cos he will miss you and doesn't really want you to go, but can't think of a suitable excuse to keep you home!

Yeah he's said he'll miss me but won't come himself so......

I've already said I was thinking of taking the coach but there is gonna be too much stuff, His answer then was well don't take so much. You don't really need a cot - She can sleep with you and just take the sling instead of the pram.

YANBU - all this "I need a car because I can't walk" shit from everyone is really beginning to annoy me.

at grown man being unable to walk 1.5 miles.

Did you really say 1.5 miles? Not 15 miles but 1.5?????

What a lazy lazy arse hole

Ludicrous to not be able to walk 1.5 miles.

A taxi for 1.5 miles would be less than a fiver!

I think i'm now paranoid but I was doing some tidying and found a holiday slip for him that says for 13-15th (the days i'm away) I asked him and he said oh no its only 1 day - the sunday - cos its my nephews birthday and my sister is gonna come pick me up.

Am I paranoid? Should I be investigating more? I went to find the hol slip again to check i'd read it right and it's gone missing now?

Is this just cos he can't be arsed to walk or is there something happening here?

Maybe he wants to sit on his arse and play computer games and drink while you're away. Unlikely he would have an affair just to get out of walking down the road!

Mind you, and have to agree here, 1.5 miles is a stroll. He should be walking it every day anyway. Maybe he's joking? I mean, that's a 25 min walk I think? Bizarre.

Chukky - No I meant is he having an affair or is he just wanting to sit on his butt all day. Didn't think he'd have an affair just to get out of walking. lol

Im assuming its that he wants to sit all day but if thats the case why lie? And why hide the hol slip now?

That is a big leap of imagination, but would explain why he 'needs' the car

Call your sil on the sunday to say happy birthday to your nephew and ask to speak to dp!

luckysalem

he can easily walk from where you live!!

dp used to walk to where your dp works and you know where we live!!

We all walk quite frequently to town to avoid getting the bus. {save money}

However I know some mornings dp used to be absolutely shattered from working and was in no fit state to walk lol

i've just read your other post sorry.

Hope you're ok.

Could be something completely innocent.

Probably is something completely innocent! I'm just over thinking!! lol

It's just unusual that its gone missing that's all.

No worries - I'm over it!! lol
