Bad error of judgement or overreaction?

So went out for a few beers last night with a friend and his mates.
Got on really well with his mates so when he went home at 11 we went on to a few clubs.

Now the mrs knew I was out as I phoned her about 8 ish but cue 3am, I'm still out being shouted at down the phone for not contacting her. Got home at 6am this morning after a great night with new mates and the mrs now hates my guts.

Do women lack the ability to use a phone when worried about their partner?? :confused: Or am I just an ass for having fun?!? I'm guessing that will be the OcUK answer!!!
 
Bad error of judgement my friend. You should have called her. I know this as I have fallen foul of this recently and she nearly kicked me out. Never again.
 
I'd never go out an not update the wife on what was going on an when i'd likely be home. Maybe that makes me under the thumb, or maybe it makes me considerate, depends on your point of view.

Just say "I'll be back when I'm back".

Job done.
 
So you called her at 8pm and she knew you were out on the lash, yet she still gave you a bucket of abuse because you came home late?????

My Wife knows from the outset that if I'm off down the pub with the boys then I'm either coming home in the early morning or she needs to bail me out the following morning......

Mind you, most of the time she comes along anyway.
 
If you didn't say you would be out that late then you should have let her know you were OK to stop her worrying.

I know it sounds daft, but women.
 
Well now you know, next time ring her at stupid o'clock whilst blind drunk and she will have a completely different reason to be mad at you :D
 
As far as she knew, you were at the pub, she didn't know that you would get drunk and decide to go clubbing too. Pubs close at 11 (usually) so she probably expected you back at around that point. You didn't show but she probably didn't want to get straight on the phone, so she hung back.

Cue 3am, you're still gone, she's a bit worried (but doesn't want to show it) and gets angry when she finds out that instead of you just dropping her a txt or whatever and taking 20 seconds to let your loved one know where you were, you just carried on having a great time.

Being a considerate partner really isn't that hard, you might think "if it was me, I wouldn't care" but it isn't you an she's a woman, who realistically think differently to men (normally).

Next time just stop and think for a few seconds about your other half whilst you're out on the lash and she won't have any cause to be angry at you.

To surmise: you went out to a pub for what she thought was a few beers, instead what happened was she last heard from you at 8 and then you turned up at 6am (stinking, both drunk and literally, no doubt) after going out with some randoms you just met. Surely you can see where her annoyance comes from?

/hangs head in shame....

Bet I would have got verbal for waking her up past 10pm anyway :D:D
 
They not worried about you as much as they are jealous of not being out having fun as well or para about who you're with.

If your missus went out and rang at 8pm, yet wasn't home/hadn't rang again by 3am, I'm sure you would be pretty ****** off.

Debatable - I trust her - the key difference being when she goes out which is rarely, I know she is going to be mega late :)

With me it could go either way!!
 
Bad judgment on your side mate...especially getting in at 6am lol!

Been there done that but for the sake of a quick text to make things fine then why not?

She would have been more angry about the fact you didnt let her know if you were ok, 8pm - 6am is quite a while to not have any contact from the loved one!!
