It can happen…
A woman has taken to an online forum to ask if she’s being unreasonable to NOT be worried about her husband.
In the post, she explains that he’s over 40, rarely goes out drinking and thinks he may just be asleep on a couch somewhere.
She wrote:
“He’s just got pissed and stayed at a mates, hasn’t he? He’s over 40, hardly ever goes out unless it’s for a meal with me or the family. The stag do was basically a local pub crawl with 18 men last night.
“We have 3 dc including my ds15 and our 2 ds together ds2 & ds4. We’ve been together 12 years. I texted him to ask where he was at 4am and got no reply, it’s now after 7 and still nothing.
“I don’t know what to do. Should I be worried? Surely one of his mates would let me know if he got hurt or something?
“I feel quite relaxed and don’t think he could be hurt. It’s just I’m not used to him not coming home and not telling me where he is. AIBU to think everything is fine?”
One user replied to her and said:
“He’s probably just had too much to drink and has fallen asleep with a friend. If he’s over 40 and hardly goes out, the alcohol has probably hit him harder than usual.
“I’d say give him a little longer to reply. I’m sure if something had happened, one of his friends would have called. Try not to worry.”
While another had a… harsher approach:
“The lack of contact would annoy me. I would be in the process of planning a nice day out somewhere- picnic/beach/zoo with the kids.
“Also leave a pile of cutlery underneath the base sheet of the bed.”
Would you be worried in this situation?
