DS had a football match at 11, after the match most went in the bar , I stayed until 1.15 ISH then went home to do laundry, clean etc and have a bath as had flu jab yesterday.

Checked with DP what time they wanted picking up agreed 4 30.

Messaged to say on way and will ring when I got there.

Rang when I arrived couldn't really hear.

Next thing message received I've just been bought a pint so I'll be half a hour.

I waited in the car as didn't have a proper bra on just a crop top with PJ's on nd a hoody over top with jeans .

He's annoyed I didn't go in I'm annoyed he got another pint.

It’s fine for you both to be annoyed. You wanted to pick him up and go, he was expecting you in clothes, was caught up in the atmosphere & alcohol, and thought you could join him.
Was he just half an hour or did he drag it out longer? That would have really annoyed me, I could have coped with the half hour.

Yes was just half hour in the end but he's more bothered about what other people will think of me sat in the car rather than going inside, where I care less about what others think and do what I want

YANBU you agreed a time you were collecting, 4.30pm so unless you were early or late he should have declined the pint and been ready for when you got there.
Unless it had been suggested you were joining for a drink.

No you're not in the wrong, if I stirred my stumps to pick someone up and they knew I was coming and told me they'd be another half hour I'd drive off and leave them to it. Or I'd really want to, anyway. Entitled.

If he wasn't ready to leave at 4:30 when you agreed to pick him up and told you he'd be another half hour, he could find his own way home.

Considering you were doing him a favour by coming back to give him a lift home he has a real cheek to be annoyed at you.

He should have been very grateful that you had the decency to sit in the car and wait for him instead of turning round and going home and leaving him to make his own way when he had finished his drink.
