lolAwww. I always like to hear of youngsters being raised right.
Back to topic...I concur completely. I think the problem I had was the "be here at 9pm babe for snuggle time" my words not the OPs - which screams to me "booty call" and "I am just using you". :shrug: But that's me being judgmental.

When I read this earlier, I thought it said Cheers, not Cheaters, and I did not get it at all.

Didn't the OP say something about him being a DD for his drunk friends, not taking his pain meds, and then ending up in the hospital that night as she thought he was "detoxing"?
If he was DD, why would he detoxing?....don't you actually have to drink and/or be drunk to do this?....when you detox, don't you have the shakes?....and if that were the case, he shouldn't have been driving his friends around

I thought she meant he was detoxing from missing his pain meds.

I think he said that he was detoxing from not taking his pain meds. If I was in the OP's situation, I'd want to see his discharge papers from the hospital. It's a pretty well thought out story, and it may be true, but it seems a little too convenient that all this happened on the one weekend that he wanted his space to hang out with his buddies in DC. If his story was indeed true, then I apologize for not trusting him. Just sounds shady to me.
I wonder if the OP met up with him last night and what happened? Hope it wasn't a booty call and that they talked about what's been going on.

And I dont' know much about being addicted to pain meds, but when House would skip a dose, it wouldn't send him to the hospital.
I mean, one dose causes someone to be hospitalized? Wait, I just re-read. Apparently he had food poisoning as well.

So he just called me. Im at work so the conversation was unfortunately brief (hes convinced that me talking on my work phone will get me fired so he never talks long until I can call him from my cell phone once I get off work).
I asked him how his weekend was. He said "Good, until yesterday." Apperently Saturday they all had plans to go out drinking, so he didnt take his pain meds and left them in his hotel room. Well they all went out to dinner, etc. and he decided it be best for him to actually drive home because a lot of the guys got way too drunk wayyy too fast. So he ended up not drinking and driving everyone back to the hotel. He said it was really late but his back wasnt really bothering him (for once) so he didnt take any of his meds except his mild muscle relaxer just to ensure he stayed asleep.
So yesterday rolled around, they all checked out, said their goodbyes, and headed home. He said his stomach was upset the entire morning so he put off taking his more powerful meds. Once he got halfway home, however, he said his back was really bothering him so he tried to take something for it. Well he puked that something right back up, and continued to puke until about 3 pm when he realized that not only did he probably have food poisioning from dinner the night before, but he was also starting to go through mild detox. So he went to the hospital. Where he stayed for about 6 hours (until around 11:00pm or so) until he was keeping fluids and his meds down. Which explains the short midnight text saying "Yea Ill call you tomorrow."
Now, would I have liked to have heard from him once he got home? Yes. However, being in the hospital for 6 hours is a good enough for me for him to not call. Especially since there is no cell reception at Calvert Memorial. That and considering he was basically going through detox, Im sure the furthest thing from his mind was calling me. Plus when he isnt feeling well, he dosnt want anyone around him. All the more reason for him to not call me because he knows me - I would have driven straight to the hospital. Im not making excuses for him (like I said I would have liked to have heard from him once he got home, etc), but puking and being hooked to IVs in the hospital w/o cell signal is a pretty good excuse for not calling. But I digress...
So after he explained all this he said "Well Im gonna let you get back to work. I just wanted to call and say Hi. Why dont you give me a call or stop by on your way home? Ill be here until 9:00 but then I have to leave for work." I said that I'd probably stop by, he said "Ok sounds good. I hope you have a good day, babe. Ill see you later. I love you. Bye."
That part right there makes me think maybe I was overreacting juuusssttt a lil bit this weekend. Now like I said, Im not making excused for him. Im defintiely going to ask why in the H3LL he didnt call me all weekend and probably give him a little shyt about it. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually Ill say something about it (a female never forgets). Honestly, when it comes down to it, Im just glad hes OK and him saying that "I love you" part seems like a good sign.Im not doing the happy dance yet - especially since Im a little irked about him not calling all weekend - but I'm definitely not in a I-Want-To-Crawl-In-A-Hole mood anymore
I knew, repeat K-N-E-W, that something was wrong yesterday. Around 3:00pm I got the uncontrollable urge to call him because suddenly, I got very worried. Gawd... my maternal instincts are going to be the death of me once I have kids
SORRY, just reading backwards here.... i hope he didnt honestly say there was NO CELL SERVICE at Calvert Memorial...???. I have been in that ER four occasions in the past year and have been able to call my ex regarding our daughters injuries EVERY TIME...from in the treatment room...one being in the very back of the ER area. In the past 10 years, we have been there on probably 8 occasions total and have ALWAYS had service...outgoing and incoming calls both. Sprint, Nextel and Verizon ALL have service there. Sweetie, you need to STOP listening to his BS. Take a deep breath and feel blessed that you CAN WALK AWAY without ever having to look back. But better yet, if you insist, be crazy and ask him to show you the discharge papers they gave him....or did he lose them already? I'm sorry.... if you're willing to believe him, than be willing to live the life of "stories".
And if he steals from me to support his habit...
Why? If I was hooked up with some guy who I distrusted enough that I wanted to see official documents proving he was where he said he was, that's a clue that the relationship should be over.

Starting a thread wouldn't be enough of a clue?
Heck no. Ya gotta get a consensus from strangers before you can move on to Clueville.
By the way, I don't care if the OP wants to see them or not (I think she's abandoned us anyway). I want to see them!! I was rooting for these kids and I'd love it if he were telling the truth because I love love!
That's why I started my restaurant thread, but no one wants to give a serious answer.
