I’m really struggling to make my mind up about this as it is actually about a situation that happened almost two years ago.
History: Dh had a best friend (his cousin) whose house we would go to all the time. His best friend is married to DH’s sisters childhood best friend (Christ did that make sense?)
Dh was a grade A prick back when he was drinking heavily, no getting around that. I ended up going into hospital with severe stomach pains, which turned out to be an infected gallbladder and stones, and had to stay in overnight on antibiotics.
We had dd 1 at the time. Instead of looking after her (she was distraught as we’d bever been apart before this and she’s had autism) he decided to dump her on my mum and go around his mates house drinking.
I called my mum up and found out about this, so called him and asked what on earth he was doing. He could go out anytime he wanted, why choose this night when dad needed him to be there?
Anyway he reassured me it was just for a drink or two and he would be back to dad soon.
Fast forward to the morning: no sign of dh. He is very apologetic when someone finally gets hold of him in the late morning.
Something strange happened after this too, dh’s best friend wouldn’t talk to him or me anymore, at all. We didn’t even go to any of the same family parties anymore.
I’ve been asking dh, for all this time, what happened? He’s always maintained his has no idea but started mentioning that he thinks it is because cousins wife has had a crush on him since they were teenagers.
I’ve always thought this is odd as hell
