Took DC out for a couple of hours this afternoon, as DH has been working quite hard the last few weeks and has a day off.
Got home and DH seemed like he had been drinking. I asked him, he said "no". I remained unconvinced - his speech was affected. Nobody else might even notice, but my radar for this is finely tuned. I grew up with a parent with a slight alcohol problem.
When I checked the bin and found 3 empty small cans of beer, I asked him again and he said "well, it's not really drinking is it."
We had a bit of an argument. He kept trying to shift blame, bring up unrelated things, get angry, then revert tearily to saying he "needed more time alone".
When he put me on the spot and asked what he'd actually done wrong, I was unable to come up with a reply. Obviously the lying is a big one, but that aside - AIBU to want my husband to be sober on his day off?
So as not to drip feed - we had a few admin things that needed sorting, that won't happen now as DC is asleep but so is DH. He becomes sort of annoying and emotional after drinking, so he's pretty useless to me for the rest of the day once he starts.
He doesn't drink all that much lately, but it bothers me a bit when he does. It feels a bit unhealthy. But is it just my history (parent issue) that makes me prickly about this?
