What would you expect

What time would you expect your partner to be home if he was going out for a works dinner that started at 6:48pm ? And would you expect him to text you to keep you updated as well as when he may be home ? So my other half had Table booked for 6:48pm and he’s still not home the meal is about 10-15 mins down road from us in town we have a 21month old and a 3 year old I of corse don’t care or mind that he’s out but I think would be nice to be kept in the loop I.e. I am staying on having drink I’ll give call text when I am on my way home hope kids are okay e.c.t.

Honestly I have fights every week with my partner regarding staying for a drink after work. They should yes keep us updated no matter how mad we will be about it x

I’d leave him to it to enjoy his night personally, I wouldn’t expect a grown man to keep me updated on when he’s going to be home if I was home anyway and it didn’t affect me needing to be somewhere, I’d tell him to make the most of it and do the same when it’s my turn for an evening off

@Julia yeah just think be nice and it’s respectful could you imagine if shoe was on the over foot lol I corse don’t mind him being out but little text wouldn’t go a miss 🤷‍♀️ I just find crazy how they go out straight after work lol xx

Yes I like to be kept updated. I mean he doesn’t have to text me constantly when he’s out, but a text every now and then to check in. I told him this early in our relationship and he still does it. He will text to let me know if he’s staying for another drink and when he will be home etc

@Emma yeah 100% no bothered I just believe you should treat someone how you want to be treated and he would expect a text or call from me if on rare time I do go out to let him know what going on so why’s the rule book diffrent for him that’s all and that’s where I coming form 🙂 I want him to have good time and hope he is x

Who makes a booking at exactly 6.48pm lmao I always book for 5, or 6.30 even 7.15 that’s a WEIRD time for a booking I’ve never once in my life booked on an exact time like that 😂 But yeah if my hubby is running late and we have something on he’ll just be like “make sure you’re showered and ready and I’ll come pick you up we have no time to waste” etc so I know to be fully ready and just…waiting. Shoes on as well (coz my shoes take long to put on) I’d ring him. I would’ve rang him 30mins ago. We usually don’t keep each other updated on everything. But in this case he knows you’re going out for dinner?

What a bizarre time for dinner. I'd expect a message just to let you know what's going on/if he's staying out but other than that I'd leave him to it tbh

Sorry I’m not sure what time is it there now? Did he make a booking w friends and it’s late and he’s still not home, or did he go out immediately after work and still not home for a booking he made for you? If it’s the first one and he’s out w friends since that time I’d just continue as is. Put the kids to sleep and do some self care, binge a movie. When I go out I’ll usually come home before 1.30, my kid sleeps through but. When I came home last night baby boy was asleep and hubby was in bed

He guys no his boss booked them table at pub/ restrant as he gave me name of the place at 6:48 for my other half and himself (his boss) and another work colleague I wasent invited to this event he got to the place at 6:15pm and table was apprently booked for 6:48pm and he’s still not home and I have t heard from him

Also another thing I found strange was I was on the phone to him while he was on his way to the meal and he was getting stressed about parking so I said call me back when you’ve parked up and he didn’t call me back so I called him back while I was trying to call him he was texting me insead saying ow just going to use the toilet and never called me back and I haven’t heard from him since

I don’t mind my husband going out, I just like to be kept in the loop. He could be out all day and I wouldn’t mind if he would let me know when he’d be home and if he’s gonna be home later just to let me know. It’s so simple, idk why they struggle so much to do it 🤣

Especially with young kiddos it’s nice to know how long you are going to have to solo parent for. It would be the nice thing to do to atleast do a quick text checking in and updating the time. Also odd that he got there so early and couldn’t call you back, but maybe other members of the party already got there and he didn’t want to be rude and be on the phone.
