DH decided at 5 to go to HH last minute

[Anonymous]

He texts me at 5:30 saying he was going out with his coworkers "for a little bit."

It is now 9 and I am still waiting. I am annoyed to be kept waiting.

I don't understand why you are waiting.

for dinner. I guess I'll go ahead and make it.

Op, do you have kids? If not, or even if so, but then advance warning is necessary, you should encourage your dh to spend time with friends. If you do, he will tell you when he is going and also what time he will be home. If he knows you disapprove, he will wait til the last minute to tell you and stay later than he said.

I don't understand this at all. If dh texted me this I would say "great have fun. On our own for dinner right?". Then I would have ordered take out and poured myself a glass of wine and watch a show dh doesn't enjoy.

You seem codependent, needy, and dim

If you guys didn't clarify dinner when you were texting, then at around 7:00 you should have decided to go ahead and eat. And as 21:12 said, take-out plus tv would be perfect for the situation!

This exactly.

You could have texted at 7 and asked about dinner. You should like you're looking for a reason to be mad.

+ 1.

I can understand if you have small kids because then you are short of helping hands, but if you have older kids (5 years and up), you should learn to CHILL. No kids? Take out, leftovers or a bowl of breakfast cereal. Soak in the bathtub and watch something that you don't usually. Or get in the bed and read some erotica or something equally fluff.

Agree with the above posters. No big deal for DH to go out occassionally, even with the last minute plans, as long as you guys did not have other plans. It can be your turn to plan an outing with girlfriends next!

When he gets home demand to see his cell phone!

Please say you have small kids so this is somewhat warranted

I have a co worker who has a really nutty girlfriend who complained about the exact same thing you are right now--literally she was like "I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE CEREAL" at 9PM (he told us all about the fight). We all think she's an insane, controlling psycho. Do you want to be that girl?
