So angry - can I find out if a train actually was delayed?

[melancholymum]

Sick of my dh and his consistant lies. He went to London yesterday - was meant to be on the 2pm train arriving in Wakefield Westgate at 4.30pm, he has just rung me to say there was a delay and it has just got in. I know when he's lying and he is but I need facts to prove it. As they train has already arrived can I still find out if any trains were delayed today? I don't know which train exactly he was meant to be on or the London station he left. I only have a few mins to find out before he gets home - any ideas?

Go to www.nationalrail.co.uk - they have live departure and arrival boards.

They only show the live times though - he rang over 5 mins ago so his train is now off the system. I can't see a way of seeing previous trains

Phone 08457 484950 - they will be able to tell you for definite.

thanks, ringing them now

The bastard I knew my instincts were right. No delays longer than 10 minutes for the whole of the afternoon. Lying shit bag.

Thank you for your help

sorry to hear that

In fact I can't leave it at that. I am close to upping and leaving. I have been miserable for months now due to us being in a really poor financial state and him not including me in organising a budget. He promises each month things will get better and he has sorted out our worries - we are with a debt management club but it doesn't seemed to have improved things where Im sitting. He has gone to London with his mates to which we have already had a huge row about, he was meant to be back by 4,30 today to spend some QT with his 2 year old. Said 2 year old is now fast asleep in bed, I haven't got 2p to rub together and don't have a scrap of food in the cupboards for my tea - literally. I am tired, hungry and well and truly fucked off. Sorry for swearing but I am livid, absolutely livid. I do love hima nd I know his short comings are merely complete irrsponsibleness and the fact that he tries to keep up with the Jones and hates to miss out but where does that leave us? I seriously can't remember the last time I treated myself or ds

Phew, feel better for getting that off my chest. Wonder whether he will continue to lie when I now know the truth.

lock the doors and he can stay at his mates

totally unaccpetable behaviour

so sorry for you

I would but my mum has paid for us to go away for the weekend tomorrow (she knows my situation, she isn't happy that I am so sad so she has decided to spoil me) so, basically I have to zip up and play happy families as there are a few of us going. I can't not go and can't tell dh he isn't coming as ds is sooooo looking forward to spending time away with daddy this weekend. Last time he did something like this (which was only last weekend I might add) we were stopping over with friends so again, I couldn't really say much as it wouldn't have been fair on our friends. By the morning I had calmed down and he was let off the hook. He is totally taking the piss.

I am also gonna have to ask for some cash when he gets in so I can at least eat. We do both work, I am a childminder but work is VERY slow at the mo and also look after ds, he is in fulltime work but controls all the finances....very badly.

If you love him give him a chance to explain. He probably just got carried away with his mates - and thought a train delay would be a better explantion rather than the truth.

Not very clever though.

i would go without him

tell your friends he is ill, and get your mum or a girlfriend to go with you

your DH needs a kick up the bum

It's actually mum and dad, bro and SIL going this weekend so I wouldn't feel right going on my own anyway.

That is exactly what he will have done HF but, like you say, it is not acceptable and I have let him get away with it for far too long.

He's still not home

Probablt having a quick pint to steel himself - good luck
