Is it that hard...

[jugglingmonkey]

... For DH to let me know he is going to be 2 hours late home?

I don't care, he went out drinking with a friend who's here from France. Great, fine, no big deal. But it was unplanned, and he knows I like him home a decent-ish time on a Friday.

Is it such a big deal to ask for a text/call if he's going to be so much later than planned?

He said he didn't get in touch because he knew I'd be angry...

Now he's flounced off because I've tried to talk to him about respect, again...

Okay, thanks all, points taken. I appreciate all you're saying about having no expectations/the 'curfew' etc (which IT'S NOT!)...

But, I didn't set the time on this occasion, he gave me a time he'd be home, and was two hours late. No communication. Personally I think that's kind of rude. But appreciate I'm in the minority.

It was rude in that you were waiting for dinner.

im with you on this juggling !

I am probably the most easy going person in the world but even I think that a quick text to someone who might otherwise be expecting you home is common courtesy.

BUT if you have form for kicking off if he's even slightly late, then he might well have decided to have a good night and the the flak later rather than have you spoil his evening with pissed off texts/calls. Obviously not saying that's definitely the case here....

Ok, just read thread properly and face seen that you're normally quite chilled.

In that case, he's a prat and has stomped out cos he knows he's in the wrong.

Not good.

It shows a total lack of consideration for you and that he is selfish.

Think it's rude. How hard it is to text? Especially if you're waiting on dinner....
However, when he's had a few drinks is probably not the best time to get a reasonable response from him

You didn't have plans so what was he late for if not his curfew?
