Is getting home at 12.10am too late?

DH and I moved abroad a few months ago. We have a 4 yo DD who goes to school. School starts at 7.30am sun-thurs.

DH was at business meetings every evening last week which left me feeling a bit isolated. I told DH this and we made sure we did some stuff as a family at the weekend.

A colleague / friend from the uk is over this week so DH needs to entertain him. However, this friend is coming to stay with us on thurs - mon as him and DH are going to the F1 together all weekend.

DH went through a plan with me of what he was going to do with his friend this week so I wouldn't feel abandoned again. He made plans for dinner this evening, a quick dinner tomorrow, not seeing him wed as DH goes out to his usual sporting event, then thurs he is coming to us and we are all going out for dinner. F1 on the following days.

All fine even though it means I won't see DH much and DH is working abroad next week.

Tonight he left for dinner at 6.40 and didn't get home until 12.10. I was not at all pleased as he is supposed to be taking DD to school tomorrow so I can have the only lie in I will get for a fortnight. His reason for being so late was that he got stuck in traffic on the way there. But they went on to a bar after which they didn't reach until 10.45ish.

AIBU to think this is too late for a work night? AIBU to think he could have at least let me know he was going to be so late?

Op, I don't think you we're being particularly U in the first place, but in light of the new information - I think you need to have a serious chat with him when all this is cooled down, this sort of behaviour is unacceptable. Stay safe x
