to think DH shouldn't have gone away all weekend for a get-together with people he hardly knows?

Dh has been away all weekend for a p* up in London with some people he hardly knows and I have never met. He dropped this on me last weekend after returning from being out all day at a meet-up to do with his hobby. I should add, this is how he knows the people he has gone to see.

I told him on Tuesday that I was surprised
he thought it was OK to go away like this. We
live in Leeds and have 2 DC (and one on the
way). We had a big talk about how I felt his hobby had become almost an obsession to him at our loss. He said he could see why I was thinking that and promised from now on he wouldn't go straight to his hobby room when he got in from work and would wait until DC were in bed.

On Friday night DS2 was ill and spent the night in our bed which obviously resulted in very little sleep for me. The next morning when I was trying to have a lie-in he came and started packing his bag (it was 8am). I was so upset that I actually broke down and cried (mixture of hormones and lack of sleep, I guess) and told him I didn't want him to go. I had said this on Tuesday during our big talk as well. He cuddled me and said I shouldn't be so upset, he'd be back before I knew it.

So, he set off at 8.45am Saturday morning and I've just rung him now because I was worried and he claimed to be on his way home and said he'd not phoned me because he didn't want an arguement!

Sorry this is so long I just can't believe he thinks this is OK when I think it's so wrong. AIBU?

I'm getting there, slowly. I focus on staying angry with him and sorting practical things. I'm tougher than I realised.
