He is doing the 3 peaks challenge this weekend.

The one thing I asked him to promiset o do while he was awy was to keep in regular contact.

Fast forward to this evening I have heard nothing since a 2 miute conversation yesterday afternoon.

Oh nothing apart form his FB status updates!

No text or call to his wife and children. One of whom came out in chicken pox last night.

So I phone him to try and find out if he is alive this is after several texts from me want to check he is ok. To get I am still climbing Snowdon. We got stuck in traffic so have been delayed but apparantly he has had no phone reception since 6 am this morning. Not once in the 7 hours it took them to drive from Scafell Pike to Snowdon did they have mobile reception. But he had enough reception to go on feckin FB and post how quickly he ran up and down Scafell pike.

I prob am being unreasonable but FFS just drop us a text to check in or respond to a text with all ok.

So of course now I am the bad guy for being annoyed and pissing on his parade.

Clearly I am not being unreasonable, by the lack of response.

No YANBU. If he can update his FB status he can send you a text. Is he with a group of mates by any chance? Probably doesn't want them to think he has to check in with the missus........blokes can be a bit pathetic like that

happycopter · 05/06/2010 18:02

If he can update FB he can bloody well email you or text you.

JamInMyWellies · 05/06/2010 18:02

To add insult to injury he just accidentaly bum called me and I heard him say to one of the other lads. "I have been up here for 20 mins"

He doesnt do extreme sports this is a village challenge for some of the Dads at the local school.

Granted my dh doesn't do FB but when he goes away for the weekend I don't hear from him despite 10 years of me trying to train him to send them the occasional text.

I've just accepted it now tbh!

Posting on fucking FB, before contacting you is twatish behaviour imo, more especially given the challenge your having this weekend.
I so hate FB, its the ruination of so many

My dh buggered off to morocco just before christmas for ten days with his best mate, for the mate's 40th birthday. Apparently not only is there no phone reception in morocco, but there are no pay phones either

I paid him back by ensuring that the car was stuck at the bottom of a very icy hill on the day he came home so I couldn't go pick him up from the airport. Didn't bother to tell him, mind. Arf.

Oh god maryz he has gone into the draw for the marathon.

He has bored me silly with stupid diets and non stop talking about training for the last 3 months.

Dont get me wrong I am completely chuffed that he has done it and more to the point has lost 2 stone (badly needed) but just really grr.

There is loads more to it aswell which has really not helped. My parents 40th wedding anniversary tom all four daughters and various grandchildren going out for the day. Never done it before as a big family My little sister has flewn in from San Fran for the weekend. DS2 now has the pox so cant do that now either.

MIght have to drag the children out in the storm to buy alcohol.

YANBU. Time to facebook brag = time to call his family.
He needs to get his priorities straight.

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 05/06/2010 18:38

YANBU.

Either tell him he needs to call at at X times or accept this is how he is and be unavailable when he wants you for something.
