To think that DH being a bit of a git?

[Megatron]

Not important I know but I'm hacked off. DH and I haven't been out together for over a year, for lots of reasons. However we have a babysitter booked and a table booked for tonight to have a meal out - nowhere fancy but out nonetheless. He has just phoned from work to say that he 'probably won't get away' on time and to cancel everything. I understand there are issues at work (really I do) I just wish he'd told me earlier, when I suggested that perhaps we rearrange but he told me that he absolutely would be home on time. I don't know why I'm posting this as I know I'm being unreasonable but I was so looking forward to it. Moan moan moan! kicks the cat like a petulant child

Couldn't he/you just make the resevration a little later or something?

Find a friend to go with instead! Sod him.

how late will he be?go out later...

Not really, he's about 50 miles away and looks like it'll be an all nighter. Oh well I suppose it gives me an excuse to send out for something yummy and stuff my face!

Unless he's saving the world/saving the jobs of many people/saving your financial future then yes, he's being a git. If it's poor time management and general obsessiveness with work then he has a real problem .

There are quite a few of them staying to try to sort out a problem so I do understand that he doesn't want to be the only one to leave. I'm just annoyed that he didn't let me know earlier when I asked him and I could have made other arrangements. It's only a meal out, I know it's not important but I was soooooo looking forward to my mozzarella stuffed chicken with parma ham and garlic potatoes!

hope they dont all end up in the pub/indian/chinese together once they've all sorted out this 'huge' problem!

They better not or DH will be wearing his danglies as earrings.

YABU as in this climate no one wants to risk their job and also U if you did kick the cat but I totally get your disappointment. Can't you go with someone else?

I don't have a cat Fab I was only messing about. Ah well chinese or indian for me tonight.

Can you re arrange for next weekend? or another night when the crisis has averted?

I think he's being a bit unreasonable tbh - unless he is a brain surgeon or a policeman etc. It is Saturday night and he has a family - is his job really more important than that?
