Say your DH went to a guys night with the boys and came home completely wasted. Would it make you mad? Why or why not?
-
Yes ONLY because DH doesn't know his limit. He doesn't drink often but when he does he just drinks whatever people give him and then barfs all over the place and is sick the next day. So annoying!
-
It wouldn't bother me at all, as long as he wasn't driving.
-
If the plan is a boys' night out to party a bit, no problem with me, as long as he's safe.
However, don't come home trying to kiss on me. I hate beer breath if I haven't had my own cocktail or two. LOL.
-
it wouldn't bother me but this neverrrr happens.
i wish dh would cut loose a little more!
-
yes. he doesn't have a healthy relationship with alcohol, so for right now it can't be part of his life, if he came home wasted it would be a huge problem.
-
DH really isn't a big drinker, so the occasional drunk night wouldn't bother me as long as he was safe.
-
It would only bother me if it were happening too frequently, like several times a week. As it is, he only goes out with his college buddies a few times a year so I don't mind at all if he stumbles in at 4am puking his guts out. Other than that he's mainly out for work happy hours and gets home by 9 or 10 tipsy but not drunk.
-
It wouldn't bother me but he has high tolerance and never really gets drunk anyway.
-
He doesn't really drink a whole lot, but as long as he was safe, wasnt driving, and came home when expected, it would be ok occasionally.
-
It hardly ever happens, and when it does I think it's funny! He needs more fun in his life!
If it happened a lot it would probably bother me
-
Wouldnt bother me. DH doesnt drink very often, so I feel like he can get a little white girl wasted sometimes.
-
I don't think I'd be mad if I knew he was having a guys' night out and if he was responsible about it. But I find him really irritating when he's drunk and I'm sober, so I'd probably just make sure I was asleep by the time he came home and let him sleep it off!
If I wasn't aware he had any plans and he came home wasted...then yes, I'd probably be mad.
-
@indi: Ugh beer breath is the WORST smell. Yuck.
-
Wouldn't bother me at all, I mean unless he was literally passed out drunk and his friends had to carry him in to my house. I know my DH is responsible.
-
DH does not get wasted, even though he can drink like a fish. The only thing that bothers me when he drinks is that he is a little chatty when he comes home. If I am already asleep I just want him to be quiet.
-
Wouldn't bother me. DH can count on one of his hands how many times he's been wasted. He's not a big drinker at all and I encourage him to go out and have a good time when he can.
-
@Rubies: lol. Same here although not to the point of throwing up. Dude just doesn't know how to turn down a drink!
-
Nope. Unless he wanted to have a conversation and I was sleeping. That's just annoying.
-
Wouldn't bother me, I'd think it was funny. DH doesn't really like the taste of most alcohol, and has only been drunk once in his life - at his bachelor party, which I told him he needed to do. I'd be amazed if he came home one night drunk. He just better not have driven like that.
-
My DH also doesn't really know how to turn down a drink. He RARELY gets drunk these days (it's been years), but back in the day, he would plan on not getting drunk but then end up wasted anyways. When people do a round of shots/offer to buy him a beer, he can't say no!
This is so foreign to me, because I have no problem turning down a drink. Even if someone brought it to me and paid for it, I would have no problem not drinking it or giving it away.
-
Yes. He doesn't know how to say no and thinks he can keep up with his alcoholic friends. And then I get to babysit him and make sure he doesn't throw up. Which he always does, and its my biggest fear.
-
Depends on how frequently this happens. If he hasn't see his friends in a while, it might not bother me. Oh, also, his mood. If he is being a big pain in the ass when he gets home, yeah, I'll be annoyed. Usually, he'll be lovey dovey but then passes out. Also, he better be somewhat helpful if I need help when he wakes up the next morning. DH has realized that he can't hold his liquor anymore and that he gets really bad hangovers. Ok... well, don't drink so much then.
-
Wagon Sr. knows the rules... he can do whatever he wants but he has to function 100% the next day with the kids and everything else. If he gets drunk, he has to make sure he isn't hung over the next day. Or if he is hung over, he can't let that affect his physical abilities to take care of his family or his mood. Yes, you can have an irresponsible boys night any time you want... but you cannot have an irresponsible boys night followed by a day off from parenting, leaving me to do everything AND take care of you!!
He loves this rule (especially because he thinks he can handle himself, which he USUALLY can...) and is constantly chugging bottles of water between drinks. Pro tip: IT WORKS! No hangover the next day.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I hardly ever drink anymore. I can easily decline a drink. DH (and his family) not so much. I can't make a fuss about his alcohol consumption when I'm around his family. When he is at home, hell yeah, I'll say something.
-
No, he doesn't drink much anymore. The only thing that bothers me is that he snores SO loud when he drinks that he always wakes me up and then I can't fall asleep.
-
As long as he was safe and not driving I wouldn't be mad. But I'd likely be super annoyed once he got home. He is so chatty and outgoing when he's drunk, and if I'm stone cold sober, he drives me crazy!
-
Wouldn't bother me. He rarely drinks/gets wasted so as long as he was safe/didn't drive, it's fine by me. Besides, when he's drunk he gets even sweeter, chattier & it provides me entertainment
-
@mrs. wagon: we have the same rule. Stay up all night if you want, but the next day, you still have to do what needs to be done!!
-
Wouldn't bother me as long as he's able to meet all his next day commitments. If he goes out, gets drunk and then also spoils plans due to be hung over.... that's a different story.
-
@indi: Agreed...I HATE the smell of alcohol on a person, especially after excessive drinking.
-
It bothers me only because DH doesn't know his limit anymore, he used to drink pretty frequently before we got together and I put an end to that, and now he's a family man. Unfortantley when he gets together with teh guys he still tries to drink like he did 10 years ago, and it doesn't work. I hate being the one dealing with a sloppy mess. If he learned to control himself an know his limits I wouldn't care if it was done on occasion.
-
I totally wouldn't care. He works hard and deserves to have a good time:).
-
It would bother me, a lot. Mainly because as parents, I just don't think we should be doing that anymore. DH also doesn't know his limits when drinking.
-
I don't care as long as he gets home safely and does not drive.
-
If there was nothing planned for the next day, no I wouldn't care. He holds his liquor pretty well (thanks to his university res days), so he doesn't get white girl wasted so easily. Last time he got like that was his bachelor party, and thankfully he stayed at a friends house that night. He was pretty hungover when he got home the next afternoon...
-
@mrs. wagon: We have basically the same rules. I don't mine you letting off some steam and having a good night out (with or without me) but that doesn't grant you a free pass for the next day. My biggest concerns are "are you being safe?" and "are you getting home safely?" We live in a small town so he'll often just walk home if he doesn't feel okay to drive.
Same rules apply if you are a goofus and stay up until 5am watching Sons of Anarchy. I don't care how tired you are, you get to be a parent at 7am just like me! lol!
-
It wouldn't bother me.
-
It would not bother me so long as I knew that he had plans that would likely result in that and that I wouldn't be able to count on him for help with LO at home.
If it was an unplanned night out and he came home like that I would be very disappointed in him.
-
In this situation no, I wouldn't mind. DH only gets wasted with his brother, and it really bothers me sometimes because he gets reaaaaally obnoxious and sensitive. I'd rather him get wasty drunk when I'm not around lol!
