To expect DH not to be sick after work night out...again

[FeelingDespondent]

Feeling very despondent.

I've been married for four months. My DH is generally a responsible and decent man. For some reason however he feels unable to take a moderate approach to drinking if it's a proper 'night out'.

I'd like to know if I'm being unreasonable by getting increasingly shorty about it. In December he did twice - once was an Xmas do, do fair enough. But it's January and it's been twice this month too.

Sick twice out of four of those times; the other two just staggering about.

I'm 37, he's 36 next month. Would just like to know if this is salvageable and what can I do to get him to be more responsible.

He is genuinely a lovely person. But I'm not really down with the binge drinking.

Should add he's a manager and this was a work night out. I know they think he's great but frankly I'd lose respect for my boss if I saw him staggering about.

Erm, I didn't mean OP should pre-book the cab personally, just ment that pre-booking might help. OP asked for ideas to help her DH be more responsible. That was one idea.

I suppose then that you have to ask yourself if this is the way you want to live your life if this is the way he lives his. The getting drunk to the point of staggering or puking every month, every other week, and basically 'not there' the day after his binges, so every other weekend you are without a partner half the weekend.

If you are OK with this, regardless if or not he has a drinking problem, then there is no problem.
