Husband not staying home during lockdown

76 replies

itiswhatitis97 · 13/01/2021 19:45

I've spoken to my husband numerous times about visiting his family/friends during lockdown, but he comes with millions of excuses.
I understand it's difficult for all of us to stay in, but we have to.
He continues to go out every evening for at least 2 hours.
What do I do? I feel like telling him tonight that if he does not stop I will not let him in.
Just to mention I have baby at home.

STBXH still socialises indoors for hours four times a week in a club with people who share his hobby. One of the reasons he is STBXH.

tenlittlecygnets · 13/01/2021 19:49

Every evening? Where does he go?

Is he very stupid?

GlowingOrb · 13/01/2021 19:51

This is dealbreaker behavior for me. Obviously it won’t be for everyone, but given my particular medical situation, it would be over.

PixelatedLunchbox · 13/01/2021 19:52

Hmm oh dearie dearie me

marthastew · 13/01/2021 19:55

Report him to the police??? I'm only half joking.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 13/01/2021 19:58

That would piss me off even in normal times. Hes out every night?

Mintjulia · 13/01/2021 19:59

Where does he go? Do you know? Family or friends? Have you tried ringing them to see if he is actually there? I'd be suspicious if it was every night.

Does he ever take the baby to see grandparents?

Yes! Every night.
Even after a full days work he comes hone and then leave around 8 for 2-3 hours because he needs a fresh air.
And he goes to socialise with friends sitting in cars and watch long football on his phone.
Basically wasting time.
I'm sick and tired of him at this point.

Soon to be Ex husband

PennyRoyal · 13/01/2021 20:22

Sitting in a car watching long football!

What even is that? Do you believe him? Sounds dodgy to me! Do you think he's meeting someone in particular?

He'd not be for me I'm afraid.

itiswhatitis97 · 13/01/2021 20:25

Sorry I meant watching football matches on his phone. I do believe him because I hear them in the background it's just silly to me and I've repeatedly told him.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore

If you rang him the playback on his phone would stop. So it's a TV you are hearing in the background, not him sitting in the car on his phone. Screams cheating to me if I'm honest!

classiestgal · 13/01/2021 20:28

What’s the point of being with him?

classiestgal · 13/01/2021 20:28

You’re always on your own! What do you get out of this relationship now?

NotStayingIn · 13/01/2021 20:30

How does he find people to do this every night with? Even without lockdown, I would struggle to meet someone every night.

Are you sure he's not seeing someone?

Either way, he's leaving you home alone every night with a baby to look after?

itiswhatitis97 · 13/01/2021 20:30

Lool if he was cheating I would know.
And I don't hear football in the background, I hear his brothers and friends. Weather they use his phone or theirs I don't know.

Regardless of Covid, going out every evening and leaving you home alone with a baby is shitty enough!

BlairCorneliaWaldorf · 13/01/2021 20:30

Are you sure he’s not having an affair?

I’d change the locks and shop him to the police.

You have completely different attitudes to risk which most likely means you will not be compatible as parents.

Ithinkim · 13/01/2021 20:31

I'm sorry but that's just weird. I think you need to reconsider your relationship.

LIZS · 13/01/2021 20:31

He's avoiding you, think about why

Squeejit · 13/01/2021 20:32

So he goes out to work, comes in for his tea and goes out again. Every night? While you’re at home
with the baby?
Even in non-lockdown I’d not be happy at this. Does he ever spend any time with you or the baby?

Lurkingforawhile · 13/01/2021 20:32

That's seriously awful behaviour. In fact wouldn't it be awful even if not in a pandemic as you're on your own with a baby? (Sorry if I've got that wrong)

seensome · 13/01/2021 20:32

He's selfish and immature, leaving you with the b

seensome · 13/01/2021 20:33

The baby every night
Even in normal circumstances, it's not on
