Maybe it's not and I'm just creating drama but it feels pretty big to me.
I lost my father not so long ago and am struggling recently with my grief. I keep dreaming about him. This week would have been a milestone birthday for him, it's also the first birthday since he died. Anticipating that I might struggle on the day I told my husband several weeks ago that I'd appreciate it if he'd not make any plans or commitments that would stop him from coming straight home from work.
You can see where this is going right? He had a work meeting with a client that turned into drinks. Whilst he wasn't more than about 45 minutes late home he was clearly the worse for wear. Not falling over drunk but blathering crap and not really following a conversation drunk.
I got annoyed with him and we had a row. He doesn't consider what he did to be bad in any way. He's apologised that I feel he disregarded me and my feelings. That drinks were offered in a swanky venue and he couldn't pass up the opportunity. I think he should have kept it to one or two max and come home sober.
He knows I don't enjoy his company when he's had too many. He talks utter random crap ie "what do you want for dinner? That's a government response!". I mean that makes no sense at all. How is someone like that going to offer any support or comfort?
I feel very hurt and as though he couldn't give a toss about me. He prioritised having drinks ffs!
