Obviously the answer is a resounding NO! I know that. Everyone knows that…..right?

So how do I process/deal with my DH after he decided to drink and drive and just about manage to park on our drive?

In-laws response: Sweep it under the carpet.

DH’s response: It was just a mistake, I didn’t get caught so let’s not discuss it anymore or more accurately AT ALL.

Me: On OUR holiday alone as he missed the flight due to sleeping it off.

It's not really all about the drink driving is it? He's missed a holiday because of his drinking.

I'm glad you went though, a bit of space to think can be a good thing.

I don’t know what you’re asking, tbh.

I’m not sure I’m sure, I suppose it’s a WWYD situation?

If he's not accepting that was a bad move that could have ended very bad, then I'd refuse to get in the car with him

Hopefully there were no passengers in the car.
