To be mightily annoyed with dh after his behaviour yesterday

DH only had 2 1/2 sleep off nights yesterday, then he got up and we all went into town to take dd1 to ballet, I tried to get him to stay in bed and said that I would quite happily take her, but, he inisted. I found out that he wanted to put a bet on the Grand National.

DD2 loves going in subway on a saturday as her treat and as we were going in I said to DH are you coming in, to which I got 'No, going to bookies and then for a pint', which pissed me off, because of the lack of sleep and no breakfast etc.

Fastforward to the end of the day, he rang me at 5.15 to tell me he'd be home about 6.30, he strolled in at 7.15 with my next door neighbour and then proceeded to make stupid, idiotic comments to everyone, we then had a row because, even though he couldn't talk, he was insistent about cooking, I finally managed to talk him out of it. He kept saying 'well you've had a drink and you're going to be cooking', it didn't seem to matter that i'd only had half a lager and as soon as my mate turned up we came home and had been sat on the patio for the last 4 hours chatting and drinking orange squash.

I had a friend staying over and she was supposed to be on the sofa, but he kept fallen asleep, I must have tried a dozen times to get him to go to bed, but he wouldn't, when I tried to take him, hold is hand etc and lead him there, he got his cocky obnoxious head on (I was and still am so embarassed and

So at 11.30 last night I had to go about changing all the sleeping arragement.

This morning I have got up, he was still snoring on the sofa so I opened the doors and the curtains fully and got on with prepping the dinner.

I asked him if he remembered anything about last night and as per usual he remembers nothing except for falling asleep and me trying to get him to go to bed. He won't apologise for being obnoxious because he can't remember anything, and thinks he shouldn't apologise for something he can't remember.

Hence, I am sat here seething, after last week I would have thought he would have made an effort, but he always seem to spoil it. He also said a while ago he would stop betting on the horses, but i've found some betting slips where he has bet £15.00 in one day.

I have taken my wedding rings and will tell him later (when friends have gone, we are having some round for sunday dinner) that they do not go back on until he can show me some respect and stop showing up and generally being an arsehole.

I know drink is a big factor and he mentions me from time to time, BUT up until 5 weeks ago I used to drink 2 bottles of red wine a night and now I drink maybe 1 or 2 a week.

it sounds like you are sorting your drinking out and he isn;t. I would find that alone irritating. No advice sorry I haven;t been in this position but no, I don't think you're being unreasonable

It's very difficult. I am not sure to what extent people can help alcohol or gambling addiction if he has that. It sounds like you are sorting yourself out (and doing very well) so just concentrate on that for now and encourage him to get help.
