to phone local police station and hospital looking for DP?

[Longo]

DP went out for a few drinks this evening at 7pm. I last heard from him at 10pm.I went to bed in a sulk at 11pm as thought he would be back, now its 2.20am and he isn't back and phone is going straight to answerphone. This really isn't something he would do normally! Will the local police station or hospital think I'm bonkers if I ring up and ask if they have him? Very worried now!

How can there be any doubt that you are right?
His penance should be something gorgeous and luxurious for christas or he should develop the ability to breathe through his ears.

My DP, does this all the time.... ends up on a mates sofa... Im used to it now, especially seeing as it's festive season.

Did he turn up ?

Glad he was home safe

binge drinking, its not big and its not clever

Oh god my other half used to do this quite frequently. Tell me he'd be home at X o'clock and then not get home until Y with no text or phone call. The ammount of stress (for me) and arguments it's caused is untrue.

The worst instance that stick out is when I was 34 weeks pregnant with DS1, he went out had said he'd be home at midnight. midnight passed, 2am, 4am, 6am nothing, no call no text. I was angry upset and worried (all stress I didn't need after already going into hospital at 31 weeks in premature labour)We had a horrible weekend and I was still stressed at work on Monday. To the point that I started having contractions again! I eneded up going back into hospital that day and being kept in for the week being monitored. They let me out on the Friday, but I went back in on Friday night as my waters broke. DS1 was born Sat lunch time a week after the stress began. I do think the stress that OH caused me was part of the reason I went into early labour. I think it gave him a kick up the bum too as he realised with him going AWOL he could have missed the birth of his first DS.

My DH used to do this quite a bit and it drove me insane. I got tough on him once we had our DS because, as far as I'm concerned, if something happened to DS, I need to be able to get hold of DH no matter where he is.

The last time he did it, I told him in no uncertain terms that if he is not going to be returning to the house at the time that he has told me he is and if I don't get so much as a text to tell me so, I'm locking him out.

Hasn't happened since

I may try that locking out method. DP is constantly nipping out to the shop and coming back hours later, drunk. After much nagging, he now phones to say he is having "a quick half", which to me means he'll be back in half an hour, but to him seems to mean he is then ok to stay out all night. He did this on Friday actually. Finished work at four, phoned to say it had been a hard shift and he was going to go for a quick drink with the lads from work. It took me phoning at 7.30 in tears with 2.9yo DD1 and 3 week old DD2 screaming in the background to get him home. He arrived an hour later (it takes fifteen minutes to walk home from the pub he was in, and he caught the bus, which comes every seven minutes) and said he thought i wouldn't mind.

Needless to say, he spent the weekend helping out with the kids. I even made him go to playgroup!

I'm glad he was ok.

I would be very angry TBH. No excuse for not texting or calling.

glad he was ok. My Dh does that all the time too. Favourite line is call to ask him what time he'll be back 'Oh I'm nearly finished my pint' ALWAYS code for be back in about 7 hours or so..

I had a work colleague whose partner went out for fish and chips and came back 4 years later, married to someone else! Now that's bad.

Am I right in thinking he went out at 7pm on Friday night and came back at 8am on Sunday.

If I am and that was me I would be divorced by now. My dh seems to have the habit of everyone else, I'll be back in a bit and then falls asleep and usually comes homes home about 3 or 6am, but never missing the whole next day till the following morning, now thats just taking the piss.

, MissGB!

My ex used to do this. When "wetting the babies head" he dissapeared.

Note I said Ex.
