Dh husband goes out last night on a works related thing with an old colleague who I know well and i pretty much expect him to get absolutely wasted. Last year on the same do he got so drunk he threw up in the cab home and on the floor in our bedroom.
I encourage him to go with a smile because I don't want to be that nagging wife, i even took the kids out in their pjs to drop him off to the next town where it was.
Dh isn't constantly out but once of twice a month, he's normally home by about 1/2 the latest and I'm fine with this as he's home, he's safe.
So last night it comes to around 2:30 and as usual when he goes out I cant really sleep as I'm worrying. I call his phone which is off, not surprising his phone dies a lot due to his work. Come half 4 I'm fuming.
I woke up around 6 to a message that he's crashed at colleagues house and I do not dispute this, I know colleague I trust dh mostly. I know they would have gone to a strip club, again that's fine, he's always told me and I'm not really bothered. If you knew my dh you'd understand why, he's a bit of a mouse when it comes to women.
BUT how can I handle this without blowing it totally out of proportion. I'm too friggin tired to argue but I can't just let him think I'm happy with this.
We do generally have a good marriage but we run a business together (of which I'm only an employee which is another sore subject, we run it equally but he's on the road and I'm in the office)
He does work very long hours in certain periods of the year and during the time he turns into the most inconsiderate, selfish arse.
He will always make time for his hobbies while me and our young dc plod along having not much time to myself or as a family.
I've had to skip college today because I don't want him doing the school run and driving whilst still over the limit.
I want him to go away for a couple of nights to give me some space and show him I mean business, I can't be arsed listening to excuses or false promises or making more of an effort.
Am I totally overreacting??
