Anyone else's DH turn into a drunken arse at formal events?
Have always been mortified by DHs antics at weddings, parties etc.
If he's drinking he just regresses to being a ridiculous teenager, totally ignoring me and boring the pants off anyone he happens to corner.
I remember it first happening at the wedding of a uni friend of his. I may as well not have been there; he didn't talk to me and spent the whole night drinking and reminiscing with his friends. I spent half the evening on my own in tears.
Happened again (after many similar times) on Sat. We were at his brothers wedding and I could tell as soon as we got to the reception he had 'the devil in his eye'. I was driving so he proceeded to get absolutely hammered. From about 5pm onwards I don't think he said 2 words to me or the DCs. We may as well not have been there. Even when DD had fallen asleep on me at 9pm, he didn't bother checking if I was ok or needed to be relieved. After 2 hours of this I'd had enough and took DCs home, leaving him to get a cab.
I watch other couples having a good time separately but they still check on each other and chat together. I just feel totally ignored and lonely.
Have tried confronting him, usually the day after but am just accused of being boring and a nagging wife, and who am I to "deprive him of enjoying his own brothers wedding?'
So AIBU?? Maybe it is just me? Maybe because I was sober I just wasn't getting into the swing of things? After Saturday I vowed that I wouldn't go to anymore social events with him (totally unrealistic); I just can't bear him when he's drunk
