Husband is ruining our honeymoon getting drunk …

[inkyspells]

Today is our first proper day here
We are in Mexico
He doesn’t listen to Any sort of advice or seem to have any common sense.
Anyway he started drinking at 9am this morning in the drink up pool.
Whiskey /cocktails and shorts but no water or soft drinks.
He was with a couple,and let me go for lunch alone as he was drinking with them.
We had plans to watch the England match ,he didn’t even come to the room to get his England shirt -just drank with this random couple.
I went to meet him at 3pm and it’s now just after 4 and he can’t stand ,being sick ,dizzy and still won’t drink water .
I have put him into bed
In going out to the beach and grab some Food soon I think.
Im honestly so sad and feel really alone
Am I being ott or would you be sad too ?

You sound fun…..

Ah yes. Leave your husband because he is having fun watching the football on his honeymoon.

This is really unacceptable- however I am wondering - is this completely different behaviour from how he’s behaved in the past? Or has he always been a liability when out with you or out with his mates? I feel like this is likely how he’s always been when he’s had the opportunity to drink freely… unfortunately I think you’ve allowed this behaviour by continuing the relationship despite this behaviour happening before probably several times. I’d let him do what he wants and spend your time away form him where you can, and either divorce when you get home or continue to put up with his behaviour. He sounds like he’s got a problem but you can’t fix that for him.

She’s said in replies he’s consistently behaved like this - he’s clearly got a problem with alcohol. There’s a huge difference in enjoying yourself and getting shit faced and embarrassing yourself and those you’re with

He has a gambling problem. And quite likely, alcohol addiction on top of that. Not really just 'having fun watching the football', is it.

Oh yes!

I think this thread is very suspect so will bow out.

Also threads like, DP never wants to do anything, she does all of the cooking and cleaning and he wouldn’t give her a lift in the ice.

Such a catch. If only she’d had any warning signs that he was going to be a total waste of space after the wedding.

Op please look back at your threads
Does he honestly make your life better? He sounds objectively awful
Just leave him.

My DH did this on our honeymoon. We were in Vegas. I went back to the room and left him to it, he fell asleep on a chair in a casino and lost his debit card. Many years later he is now my ex DH. So sorry OP, but this behaviour won’t change. I would save yourself a lot of heartache and get out now.

Last sentence. Spot on.

Or checking her creative writing course

Just look at a few of her past threads (to those defending the arse-shat of a husband) Although why the OP went ahead an married him is another matter.

Bet the other couple loved that 🙈
Once he sobers up, if he’s not full of remorse and agreeing to terms on when he can drink alcohol (maybe after 7pm if he has eaten and kept himself hydrated) then you gotta admit he’s an alcoholic and start looking up an annulment.

Is he generally immature and selfish?

He needs reminding that he's not on a lad's holiday and that his priorities on his honeymoon should not at any point be alcohol or befriending others.

Lay it out straight so he knows you won't be putting up with it.

I'd be flying home right about now probably but I suppose it would be more measured to have the conversation and give him another chance.

Maybe.

Would depend on his reaction to the convo, for me. Any gaslighting and I'd be out.

Totally agree!

OP has form for starting threads about her shitty, useless DP (who is now her DH 😩) ignoring all the sensible advice and then disappearing. Only to pop up again with a new issue about the same shitty, useless man.

This poster has form for complaining about this man's godawful behaviour, prompting many people to consider and give sensible advice, then starting another one and the whole cycle goes round again.

I take it back.

he doesn't deserve another chance.

It sounds like Op will stay anyway, whatever he does.

Let me see have you done any juicy updates😆

I see, you have not been posting any proper updates, not replying to posters.
MN, welcome the new summer wave of rage baiters

He was the ice guy as well?! Jesus Christ OP. You're your own worst enemy. Why marry a boozy, gambling, lazy wanker, who doesn't care about you?! Get rid of him and be happy on your own.

Sounds like my EXH, OP. I divorced him when I realised I was married to an alcoholic who would rather be drinking with strangers than be with me. Unfortunately things turned abusive and the drinking made it worse, but I managed to walk away. Seriously do not ignore this behaviour as it points to a very dysfunctional relationship with alcohol, and please don't bring any children into the mix if you haven't already.

I assume for the same reason she sits up till the early hours when he goes drinking at home because he ‘doesn’t like taking a key’.

I think there is such a thing as Mumsnethausen Syndrome.

I don’t normally agree with these kind of comments as I’ve found most people on Mumsnet just want everyone to get divorced, but on this occasion I whole heartedly agree. Considering this is a honeymoon, I wouldn’t even expect him to have a single drink with anyone else. Get rid now before you end up having kids with him, spend years of your life unhappy and ultimately end up doing it in 10 years time anyway.

So if this is what he's like did you honestly think he wouldn't continue being like this? There's no reason a honeymoon would make someone change dramatically as opposed to another holiday with you. I think this is just your life now so you'll need to decide if it's a dealbreaker or not.
