AIBU? Husband left family holiday to go to work *update edited by MNHQ*

So, we’ve had the first family holiday in two years with the kids 6 and 3 and we stayed in the UK.

We arrived on Saturday, by Monday he had many calls from work and chose to work whilst away.

By Tuesday, he told me that he was needed at work and would be returning by train on Thursday afternoon.

I know his job is important and we do need the money but I am devastated. The kids and I are here alone and that wasn’t the plan.

I’ve just told him that we’re coming home today (a day early) and I’ll see him later. He said he won’t be home until Monday as he’s having to work on a deal and will be doing stupid hours so doesn’t see the point in coming home and disturbing us.

I’m pretty sure he isn’t having an affair. He often has to stay away with work (he works about 90mins drive from home) and stays with his sister who definitely wouldn’t condone him having an affair. I’m just gutted that the holiday has been spoilt. Am I being unfair for being upset with him?

I’d be looking for a bigger share of the marital assets. With his history, he’s likely to reduce or stop paying child support.

He’s a lawyer and a very good liar.

Wretched coward!!
Of course he's hoping that you'll take over the job and do it for him. Angry

I hope they weren't too disappointed - it sounds like they're going to have to get used to being let down by him. Sad

Jesus what a tool. Fortunately for your children, you are the exact opposite op. Flowers

You / your solicitor definitely need to get the most watertight, fair / generous guaranteed ongoing maintenance and settlement you can.

He has proven himself unreliable and he now has created a conflict of interest and the OW will be fighting hard for her ‘share ‘ too.

A dishonest cowardly bastard like him will always bend the way the strongest wind blows, so make sure that is you!

He’s utterly unbelievable, I’m so sorry

What a cunt he is, I'm so shocked by your latest update.
You think you know someone and then you find out shit like this
