in Pregnant after a Loss

i swear, i cannot stand it when mr. soup hangs out with one of his friends.  he called me at 5:30 to say he was on his way to meet his friend for a quick drink and then he'd be home.  it's now 9pm and he isn't answering his phone.

this "friend" is a guy with a wife and 2 kids, who prefers sitting in a bar (even by himself) to spending any time with his family.  every single time mr. soup hangs out with him, he acts irresponsibly and stresses me out by not paying attention to the time or answering his phone.  not exactly the kind of influence an expecting father needs as far as i'm concerned and definitely not the stress his pregnant wife needs either.

    Oy vey. My husband does this too. The not answering the phone is the worst- esp. as we are in late pregnancy and this is just INEXCUSABLE in my book.

    Here's what you should do for revenge: in a few weeks, when you're a little closer to your due date, wait for him to pull this crap again. Then text him and say you are in labor. HA.

    Ok, I was kidding about that. But still. It would serve him right.

    Because men can be a$$es, that's why.

    I agree with Sue. It would serve him right if you texted him that!

    Aw man May that really stinks.  I think he should definitely be bringing home ice cream to make everything better!  I think all of our dh's probably have one of "those" friends...

    My husband does this too.  He has a friend a couple years younger, who still lives at home.  DH is always going over there and says he won't stay long, then spends hours over there and sometimes ends up drunk and says he can't drive home.  Makes me sooo mad.

    Do our DH's have the same friends????  LOL!! this sounds exactly like my dh and one of his friends minus the wife and 2 kids, but does have the pg gf and thinks it's ok not to come home from the bar until 7 am!  I have to say my dh isn't that bad, and we've had the discussion that it's NOT ok to not answer his phone because you never know what can happen in pregnancy.  His excuse is he can't hear it....well guess what almost all phones have vibrate and I don't care what he's doing...he needs to answer his darn phone!

    Dh has a friend like this too...and does not answer when he is w/ him... he does not want to look like he is chained to his "ball and chain" in front of the friend.  I would be nervous about what PP mentioned, but if he does not go w/ you to your OB appts, I would stop by the shopping mall afterwords and conveniently forget the phone in the car.  He'd be calling and worried and expecting an update on the appt.
