Why can't men just cope?

Went out to buy nappies, car key broke (I asked him to get another 2 weeks ago), they couldn't cut me another one. Caught bus back after ringing DH, he was angry at me. Got here and he ahs gone.

At first I thought he ahd cycled off to collect DS3, but nope- hidden in the corner of the shed was the bike seat. had I been late on the bus, DS3 wuld have been abandoned at the CM's (she ran him home for me)

he has no money, depression, no bank card (in car) and a bad temper. he left his telephone also, and he has no friends for fifty miles.

I am in a right state! Last time he did this he tried a sucicide bid.

ScoobyDooooo · 11/07/2006 14:10

sorry to hear this Peachy not reallu sure what to suggest, leave it an hr or so & see if he returns then try & think of a plan

NomDePlume · 11/07/2006 14:11

Hope he shows up safe and sound asap, peachy. xx

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 11/07/2006 14:13

He has taken a house key, which does mean that he can get in when I go over the school, but also that I can't lock up

And frankly I'd rather lock up and have some control over his comings and goings. He KNOWS how badly this sort of behaviour affects me.

Oh no! I am sure he will be back when he has calmed down, but how awful for you in the meantime.

My dad used to do this a lot It was horrible horrible, but he always came back.

Is he getting help for his depression???

Thinking of you

LucyCampCat · 11/07/2006 14:17

oh Peachy.....try not to worry - easier said than done I know - hope all is resolved soon.

Lemmingswife · 11/07/2006 14:19

Oh poor you.
I know you must be out of your mind with worry, but I am sure he will come back soon.x

Thomcat · 11/07/2006 14:21

Hope he appears soon.

alicemama · 11/07/2006 14:21

Thinking of you [[[[[[[hugz]]]]]]

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 11/07/2006 14:31

Oh Peachy - hope he's just gone to clear his head and turns up soon.

zippitippitoes · 11/07/2006 14:34

I hope he turns up soon..I know how you feel, although I've been the one running off..on the bright side he hasn't got the car and if he has taken a key he expects to come back soon, I've no doubt.

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 11/07/2006 15:40

He's back

Can't work out why I am stressed, thinks I have 'isues' over last time (ewr yeah, waiitng whilst Police chased up and down motorways looking for you does that to a person)

but at least he is safe

thank you

Glad all is well, peachy.

HappyDaddy · 12/07/2006 14:51

From a bloke's point of view. We tend to think quite selfishly, I think. Women, as you usually are more involved in children's care, so get used to thinking about how your actions have a knock on effect. Men, well often the fact that we work and earn the bulk of the money is where we think our responsibilities end. I think more men should be SAHDs for a year, it really does alter the way you think.

Glad he's back. Give him a slap.

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 12/07/2006 18:21

He WAS a SAHD for a while! But I think you're r ight, i think he has got used to me running around after him a bit- AND bringing in cash (albeit student grants and pitiful mentoring pay)
