DH angry I told his vomit story weeks later

[Pooshy]

DH got so drunk a few weeks ago that he threw up on the sofa and kitchen floor, and didn't clear it up. Also we found a road sign at the back of the garden and he fell asleep on the lawn

I found it the next morning and was pretty pissed off but we laughed it off in the end

I told my brother and my DH overheard this, didn't seem to mind. I then told a few other friends as a funny story, again, DH made no objection

Three weeks later he is suddenly really angry that I told other people and had a massive go at me!!! WTF?! I said he didn't complain at the time and laughed along with us, told a few people himself

I'm going out tonight but have left early as he was being so shouty. Surly he is BU??

That's not a story I'd like to be telling people about my DH tbh.

I'd have made him get up and clean it though.

If you behave badly there are consequences.

Embarrassment is his consequences for behaving badly.

I’d be telling him that I’d I had to clean up his vomit I can tell anyone I like about it.

If he doesn’t want to be embarrassed in future he shouldn’t behave in an embarrassing way in future.

He sounds like an embarrassment.

Late 30s? Pathetic.

Why would you tell everyone this as a "funny story"? It's not funny, it's grim.

It's not about "lightening up".

I would be really upset I embarrassed myself drunk and my partner thought it would be hilarious to tell everyone about it.

Everyone makes mistakes and acts like an idiot occasionally - that doesn't mean everyone needs to be told about it for weeks on end, though.

Not nice, OP, not nice

I wouldn’t have cleaned up his vomit though. Unless I gave birth to you, I’m not getting elbow deep in anything that you throw up.

If he didn't want the story told he should have made that clear at a much earlier stage.

Accusing you of being immature is the act of a dickhead. Which is more immature, coming home pissed and out of control, or telling people about it?

Agree with others I would be very upset if my partner thought to share this story multiple times simply for laughs. I assume it was a one off? Everyone does stupid things even when they are an adult, I think it's fine to laugh about it together, and he probably didn't mind the first few times as he assumed you wouldn't still be talking about it weeks later. To repeatedly retell the story is pretty cruel and I doubt you would be best pleased if it was the other way around.

He behaved like an idiot that night. He should have cleaned up after himself. No doubt he is embarrassed and regrets it.
But you seem to be enjoying making fun of him, humiliating and reminding him, in front of others, what an idiot he was.
I think you should drop it now.

That is a ClasSICK story! Maybe he feels 'ashamed' he can't hold his beer? Chundering over the sofa is really disgusting though....Did he place a traffic cone on his head as well as nicking a road sign? My guess is his pride is dented.

Is it just me who wants to know what kind of road sign?

Also, did he actually prise it from the ground?

Was it a Throad Up sign?

YANBU. Anything that embarrasses the OH is worth repeating in my book.

And he's quite at liberty to tell people about the time I was so pissed I walked home wearing just my knickers and for a dare.

He made a stupid mistake
You should not keep bringing it up, it’s not kind

Now somehow YOU are the immature one?

Not really.

I understand that people can think OP is being disloyal in repeating this story.
But it sounds as though her OH has no remorse whatsoever for his actions or for making her clean it up etc.. That leads me to think this may not be the first time, and perhaps may not be the last. What price loyalty then?
Maybe this is OP's way of making him see she's right to say that his behavour is not reasonable, because he thinks she is over reacting. Perhaps telling others is her way of getting him to understand how people really react to this kind of behaviour.

Well I thought it was funny! My OH got so drunk on holiday in italy (which I should add is not like him), we were in a lovely little place with a few apartments and the owners held a gathering for the guests and DC on the saturday and provided food, wine and limoncello (home made) great night, very messy though and he was a mess,. I wont go into detail but not dissimilar to yours and I did relay the story to his friends and mine and they thought it was hilarious. We were early 40s too so its not an age thing. His friends and I still laugh about it. So OP YANBU.....sounds like a hoot to me...my other half didnt get annoyed though...so maybe someone has said something to your OH?

Seriously you have never made any mistakes or acted like a fool in your adult life?

Assuming it's a one off I'd be annoyed too if I was him.

Even adults are allowed to screw up in private very occasionally

apparently it's my fault for being so immature that I didn't realise that I shouldn't tell people
Or his for being so immature he drank until he was insensible and vomited everywhere... fair game for embarrassing stories in my book.

I am not a fan of telling stories about peoples embarrassing situations, and think it makes the person telling it look a bit of a dick tbh. (Unless the person the tale is about knows they are going to tell the tale!)

My ex was the worst, because when he tried to take the piss out of me and get laughs at my expense, he would exaggerate things and even lie. Like he said one time (to his workmates) that I got so drunk that I passed out in the middle of the road, had to be rescued by paramedics, and then spent the night in hospital having my stomach pumped!

All I did was have a glass of wine too many, and threw up ONCE in the loo, and then went to bed.

Wasn't the first or last time he did something like this either.

Not really.

So you're perfect are you? You've never made a mistake?
