Last night was my dh christmas party.
I closed my shop up early, came home ,got ready and we went.
When we got there we ate. Then he said i will be back. He left me sitting there for an hour with 4 old people I didn't know and went mingling. I was soooo upset.I told him either take me home or I will call my daughter to come and get me.
We were home by 8:30.
I sat there sitting like a big idiot.
He could have said come on I wanna go talk to this person or whatever.
Would you be upset.I don't know these people. They are his friends, not mine.
I could have stayed at work and made some money. It is sooo buisy with Christams.
I just need to vent. I am really bummed.

I would have ripped his head off and handed it to him on a plate. I have a friend who used to do that to his wife all the time, and I would get livid with him about it. IMO, it was very rude of him to leave you sitting there alone for an hour. I'm sorry he was so inconsiderate.:(
 
I agree, it was very rude! My DH did that to me once several years ago. I handled it by inserting myself into the picture. I just walked right up, extended my hand to shake theirs, and introduced myself. I think my DH got the point after that!

Good for you, Michele!:)
 
yeah that is rude of him to leave you there feeling uncomfortable and not really knowing anybody. hubby used to do this then i started doing it him. he didn't like that. i do like michele's approach. make your presense known. i usually did that when a drunk girl was getting to touchy feely, didn't rip anybody's head off just made it clear who I was.

It was rude.But I am the kind of person who would have got up and mingled on my own.I will talk to strangers all the time.my husband says your the only person I know who can strick up a conversation with a stranger and talk for 20min:p
 
I'll join the chorus: that is thoughtless, especially if you are the sort of person who doesn't mingle easily and your DH knows that.

I'm with Shelia. I've learned that I need to be able to converse with people I don't know. That's how you get to know them!

That said, it was totally inconsiderate of him to not even take you around and introduce you. Men! Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em. :(
 
Yes, he was rude to you. Did he not understand how you felt beforehand? It seems to me that he would know you well enough to realize that he left you in an uncomfortable situation.

I'm with the others who said they would've just gotten up and inserted themselves into the mix. It does no good to wallow in self pity. Even so, what he did was beyond rude, especially since he is your DH and should care about your feelings.

Let him know how you felt, but in the future, make a point to introduce yourself and mingle.
 
I would have been very upset!!!! I think DH sort of did something like that to me one time and it was his first and his last! Either invite you along for the chat or don't go. It really does make you feel like an idiot when you are sitting there b/c the hour feels more like 4 hours.

I would have been pissed off too! It is rude and I must say though that it also makes him look bad not you. If the co-workers have any sense thay should know that he was being rude and it will reflect on how they think of him!

Having said that I too am a mingler and I would have been all ver that room talking to everyone just to spite !

Dude I would have been WAY pissed. I agree wholeheartedly that is so rude. He should have taken you with him & mingled together as a couple. DH would be lucky if I let him back in the house after something like that. You definitely need to have a good talk with your DH about that. Tell us how you things go.

What.....did he take you along to be eye candy? That was really rude what he did. You should have mingled on your own and then eventually you would have made it around to the side of the room that he was on.:) When you left, then you could have given him a piece of your mind. }( You never know how many friends you would have made.;-)
 
There are moments in life like these that make me realize that social graces are a dying art. You have every right to be upset. I would have been too. This happened to me a long time ago and I still remember it 20 years later. But, these days, I would have gotten up and joined him. Or, I would have mingled myself introducing myself to everybody. Especially, the other men..hehe evil I know.
