Am I a CF?

DH popped into FIL house on way from work to drop something off. (30 mins away from home) Called to say he had arrived at FIL house and I told him I’d put his dinner in oven and was about to do bedtime with DC. He said he had a whopper of a migraine and said he’s speak soon. 3 hours later I call to check in but no answer. This isn’t a one off, he’s done this before. He gets there and can’t be bothered to drive home and won’t contact me. AIBU to just expect a text letting me know? Fully open to options calling me a CF but just curious.

CF as in cheeky fucker? I can't see anything in your post that suggests you are being cheeky.

It's probably not safe for him to drive home if he's already told you he has a whopper of a migraine although he should have let you know.

He's probably taken himself off for a Lie down in a dark room, Migrane sufferer here and they're so awful you literally can't think straight!! Can you drop FiL a text to check he's ok?

I'd be wondering if he's really at his father's house, honestly. Sounds rather suspect to me considering this has happened multiple times.

Me too- and I in that situation I would almost certainly have gone to sleep at PIL rather than drive home. But I would have asked someone to let my partner know.

As an aside, if he often has a migraine at the end of the working day has he had his eyes checked recently. I find eye strain often leads to migraine and increased migraines is often a sign for me that my glasses need to be changed.

Is he prone to migranes normally? Eg: at home.

I agree that I wouldn't expect him to drive home with one.

But...you sure he's at your father in laws at the time?

I understand how debilitating migraines can be, but there's no excuse for not letting you know what's going on even if its via FIL.

Upallnight2 · 18/03/2024 19:20

Erm yes I would expect a text!

But as its not a one off, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't his father's house he is actually at

If he has a bad migraine he's probably gone for a lie down for a while til he feels better. He should have asked FIL to let you know though.

This was my thought. Can you call FIL to check he's ok?

This really isn't the correct use of CF, to the point it has irritated me that I clicked on this thread 😂
