We visited a nearby city, about 2 hours away on the train. We had lunch and went round the shops, and all of a sudden he started to get bored and annoyed less than 2 hours after we had arrived. He stormed off and called me 10 minutes later to say he was at the station, and he would come back if I agreed I was only allowed to go in 3 shops. I said we could go in different shops and then meet up later, he said he didn't want to do that because he needed me to help him in his shops.

He then got on the train and went home by himself. I told a friend and she is appalled that he left me to get the train home alone. Is she right? I always get train by myself so I don't see that part as a huge issue, just wondered about people's thoughts.

Sorry but trailing around the shops for hours on the end would be my idea of hell.

Yes, him rushing off abruptly is a bit rude, but could OP not continue shopping on her own?

Did you have an agreed 'one shop for him, one shop for you' or was it just an endless few hours of you dragging him around all shops for you?

Personally, I don't think it's 'appalling'. Bit rude, not not a massive deal unless there's some back story?

TBF I've done this to my DH before now when he just wasn't listening. But it was go off and find a coffee shop and then rang him to say I was going home. I'm not sure he'd noticed I'd left the shop he was spending a stupid amount of time in looking at shoes.

But there was no allowing. It was just 'I'm knackered and want to go home now are you coming too?'

It was rude. If he was getting bored or didn't want to shop all day, he should have spoke up long before.
