Im in a mood!
I was invited out by my parents for tea tonight as my husband was going to see some friends tonight, he finshed work early and went to see them at lunch time and at 4pm told me he would be leaving within the hour and would be home before tea time.
Its now 7:15 and he has just set off and has an hours drive home, I have been sat at home all alone for 3 hours when I could hav been out with my parents.
So hacked off and now he is made with me because I shouted at him on the phone.
Feel like getting changed and just going out, but I know that will make things worst.
Angry and know we will fight as soon as he walks through the door.

Emma - my DH has been doing this lately too and it drives me crazy! He's staying to work late, but I"ll be making dinner and ask him what time he's getting home - he'll tell me 30 minutes. I'll have dinner ready at 30 minutes and he doesn't get home for another hour. He should bloody well be happy I'm cooking for him! I finally just started eating when it was ready instead of waiting. He's come around. It's hard to be mad since he's actually sitting miserably at the office, but he needs to learn to respect my time too! We can't sit around waiting all the time! We finally had a discussion at a time when I wasn't all worked up and I let him know that it bothered me when that happened, and if he's going to be late that's fine, but let me know so I'm not waiting! He's gotten way better about it. I'd recommend not trying to have the discussion now. Just calmly telling him you're frustrated because you were waiting for 3 hours when you could have been doing something productive and spending time with your parents, and you would have appreciated a ring. If you're calm and rational he'll feel worse! If that doesn't work...pull the pregnant card!!
