Husband at carnival - stayed overnight

[Melanie1811]

I agreed that my husband will go carnival while I stay home with our son. However, he texted me at 10pm that he is staying at friends house as traffic is nightmare and roads closed. He is still not home saying he will be home in few hours. I’m somehow not happy and wondering where did he sleep. Am I overreacting ? Are you ok with husband not coming home occasionally?

Was it Pride?

Nothing hill carnival

I imagine it was Notting Hill
I live there and move out for Carnival it is a nightmare roads are blocked and takes ages to get from one place to another

I’d go on past history, if this is a one off, I’d just trust him. These things do happen.

I agree - Notting Hill is a nightmare and a lot of tube stations are exit only so you have to walk MILES before being able to access transport.

I wouldn't be pleased.

Personally I wouldn't be concerned about infidelity (although you should trust your instincts on that one), but being left to deal with the kids for most of the day on a bank holiday without discussing it in advance would piss me off.

Unless he has form, I wouldn't worry about him staying over after a late night. Seems entirely practical.

I would be pissed off at him dragging his heels over coming home, when it wasn't agreed.

Traffic was horrendous yesterday and there was major train engineering work.

I’d cut him some slack

I'd be fine with that. But all depends on previous history, etc... If no reason not to trust him then no problem.

I’d be fine with it too, these things happen. I’d be cross if he thought I was in the wrong for changing plans at the last minute due to traffic etc.
