I have name changed for this as I use my real name and don't want him to see it!
I have been saying to dh for a week now that I hope he gets let out of work early today (he did on xmas eve). I called him at 4pm to see if he would. He was obviously not at work - lots of street noise. He says they are just coming back to the office - not very specific about where they have been, but sounds somewhat drunk. He says he will be leaving soon, home by 5. So I prepare dinner with this in mind. And tell the kids Daddy will be home early. 5 comes and goes and no sign of him. Towards 5:30 I am getting worried about him - maybe too drunk to get home safely? At 5:35 I call him. He is still at work, very vague about why "just got caught up" and is leaving soon.
I was so annoyed that he didn't call me when he knew he wouldn't make it home by when he said. So we started dinner without him. I did question him once the kids were in bed to try to find out what happened. He was in the pub with work people for two hours until I called him at 4. Then went back to the office to pack up to come home. |Did not get caught up in work, but in talking to colleagues (one is going through a divorce so I think they were talking about that). He was still talking when I called again and only then thought about coming home. He is now asleep on the couch (having obviously drunk too much earlier). So no NY conversation, drink etc for me.
So, AIBU to be annoyed that he did not call me to tell me he would be home an hour and 40 minutes later than he said? And that he is now asleep on the couch on NYE?
