My H went out last night with a friend, and ended up being stuck in a car for 3 hours, as H fell asleep in the car, and instead of his mate bringing him home, his mate continued to party and left dh stuck in a car park, locked in a car Angry.

firstly my H doesn't drink, its his first drink in over 5 years, so this is completely out of character, and just not him at all.

Im furious because I "think" his mate was drink driving, and dh even tho intoxicated got into a car with a wasted person, and ended up being stranded in a car in a car park in the middle of nowhere. Im furious as he was only going to our local for the last bell.

We finally got him out the car at 5.30 this morning, after other wife eventually got through to her H, who said my H was fine, he wasn't, H was crying, frightened and confused as by this point he was stuck in the car for 4 hours, and he couldn't break any of the windows, or get out etc...

I cant believe him and his mate potentially endangered others lives.

Mates wife has phoned the police, (alot of reasons, but think this incident in the last straw for their relationship) however Im not sure how to deal with my wankard off a husband.

Im furious and cant think straight!

Mates marriage is over due to a number of reasons!. This incident was the last straw for her.

I am neither a abuser or a liar, my dh was crying, as he was locked in a car for 4 hours, confused and drunk, he woke having no idea where he was, and neither did any of us, until we got hold his mate 4 hours later, and only then could we get him.

We went back last night as dh lost his wallet (found it) and the area is really secluded, just tree's etc... the clubs we're 10 Min's away from where he was parked.

dh is fine, we're going out for a meal tonight, as the pil are watching the children for us. The incident is over and done with, and my dh know and is incredibly ashamed he put himself into that position, however not so much to stop drinking, hes going to share a bottle of wine with me tonight Grin

so continue your vitriol, you couldn't be further from the truth, Im sure you would not be best pleased, if you had to contact your dh after him saying he was only going to the pub for the last drink, and then found out he was so intoxicated to the point he, didn't know where he was, how he got there and you had been frantically trying to contact his mate, to see where he was and to get him out the car in the early hours of the morning.

And also, to be into a car with a blinding drunk driver.

We laugh about it now, as this is a man who has only cried once, when in grandmother passed away in all of our relationship.

Ypu don't ned to deal with your husband. He made a mistake and was left in a locked car. Your should have a bit more symhony for him and be furious with the other guy.

Glad you can laugh about it now furiouswife and sorry for taking the mickey a bit but it did sound hilarious.

However if I have read it right and it took 4 hours between you waking him and him getting out of the car because nobody except his mate knew where he was, I would have a lot more sympathy with your DH and would be furious with his so called mate and I would not pay the damage.

This thread is absolutely hilarious. SSB you have me howling with laughter at the quivering life saving hero....

crunchbag · 04/01/2011 13:34

Although I feel a bit more sympathetic towards the DH, I still can't understand how someone could be stuck in a car for 4 hours, surely no car is so secure that you can't get out somehow Hmm

Now I'm really confused Confused

How did he lose his wallet? Surely he only got out of the car in that secluded area to get into mates sisters car to take him home?

BTW, My DH did something very similar a few years ago so kind of believe the story.

We've all made mistakes and you'll laugh about it in years to come - However, mate was out of order for leaving your DH in the car for so long without going back to check on him or check his phone - definately would not pay damamge to his car.

SSB - you are comedy gold Grin
