AIBU that my husband refuses to apologise for being dead drunk?

Last night my hubby went to the pub while I stayed home with dd. Fine. But he rolled in at almost 3 am, totally sloshed and crashed on the beanbag in the living room. He knows I find this behaviour upsetting. I told him this morning that I was upset with him and it would be nice of him to apologise but all I got was that 'you want me to say sorry for having fun?'
He used to do this periodically when we were dating but hasn't for a while but I still don't think its acceptable at all. What also pissed me off is that when I was talking about it he tried to turn it back to my irritating habits!

I'm not trying to say he can't go out alone and get a bit merry but I do object to him being that hammered.

I would find it too patronising to wake up and be told I should apologise. If he did apologise then it probably won't have been genuine, he would have just said sorry to save the Afro. He may have apologised if you gave him a chance, and it may have been a more genuine exchange then. Your way sounds like the perfect way to start an argument to be honest. As a grown adult I would really resent that as a wake up

Why though? What has he done wrong? Is this a regular thing? Does he get argumentative? Wet himself? He didn't stumble in and wake you, he slept downstairs. I don't see the problem tbh.

Yes this, if it causes and actual problem deal with that but this treating him like your his mother is odd

As long as he didn't vomit or was incontinent and there's no other backstory, it's not really crime of the century. He's home, he'll have one heck of a hangover to take full advantage of !!!!

Is he totally useless today? If so, I get your anger.
