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??

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.

sounds like a hoot to me.

Really, eileon? Your mid forties DH got as pissed as a fart and puked all over your holiday accommodation, and you and all your friends still laugh about it...

Little amuses the simple.

adaline I don’t claim perfection but I’ve never been drunk and vomited over the furniture and left someone else to clean it up.

Neither has my DH. I’d be deeply unimpressed.

But that's not the same as never doing something stupid. I don't tend to drink but I still do stupid things every now and again which others would consider foolish.

Man who got pissed, stole a road sign 🤮 and didn’t clear up, accusing someone else of being immature.

As my gran used to say, people who live in greenhouses shouldn’t throw stones.

Neither have I, but I've still done stupid things I wouldn't want my other half telling everyone about and laughing at me over!

Do you think it was because you were going out tonight so it reminded him of when he went out. Maybe he didn't want you to so picked a fight with you.

Well he wouldnt be being unreasonable if hed actually told you not to tell anyone from the get go..... but to randomly get angry about this is really odd, it is a funny story. Get that he might be embarrassed but all it takes is 'dont keep telling that to people now as it makes me a ashamed, im not proud of it'.... not getting angry that you told it in the first place.... its a normal thing to tell friends imo and its not like he seemed upset at the actual time.
So YANBU he has no right to get shouty with you about this!

How funny can vomiting all over the place be?? Seriously, how can that be such 'a hoot!' You're all still laughing about it??

adaline I think my difficulty with this situation is that the husband’s behaviour (in my view) was incredibly selfish and disappointing.

He wasn’t ill, he was drunk. I find it hard to be sympathetic.

Oh God, when my kids were tiny I went out for the first time since forever, and got hideously drunk and threw up in various disgusting ways.

DH told everyone. He thought it was really funny (not at the time because the poor sod had to clean up after me and put me to bed) as it's not like me at all. I was beyond humiliated.

The first time he told people I felt like I had to laugh along because I was in the wrong and I was just glad that DH had stopped being angry about the puke everywhere and decided it was funny. By the second or third time I just felt so embarrassed but it seemed like by then it had become a funny story which was OK to tell. I had to explain to him that I found it really humiliating and ask him not to keep telling it - which, to be fair, he stopped.

Does your DH have an issue with you going out? If he has decided to mention it tonight of all nights.
I think if he laughed it off at the first telling of his antics, still laughed it off again...then bit unreasonable to complain now.

He vomited everywhere, stole a road sign and slept in the garden yet you're the immature one..? What a clown! I'd tell people that story too!!

God get a grip Iamgrey . My OH has never done that before and yes it was funny and yes we do laugh about it with close friends. He cleaned it up after himself and the place was spotless when we left. It was a one off and we laugh more about his behaviour on the night, not the vomit! The OP DH got hammered, brought home a road sign and was sick, from what the OP is saying its not normal behaviour and she relayed the story to her friends. OH is getting annoyed now as he is probably heard it too many times and is probably mortified.

I would have laughed about the road sign but I never would have mentioned the vomiting to anyone.

eatmycheese

She hasn’t told people he’s got erectile dysfunction or an obsession with Piers Morgan

This made me proper snort!

I would have laughed about the road sign but I never would have mentioned the vomiting to anyone.

Me too. And I would hope DH would do the same for me (though in my case it's more likely to have been losing my Oyster card and having an emotional cry)

If he doesnt do that often and it was out of character then he is probably embarrassed. You bringing it up more than a couple of times and to brand new auidences is basically humiliating him for no good reason.

When, if ever, will the story be old news to you? When will you stop wanting to embarrass him?

Does he do the same to you - bring up embarrassing stories?

Its a horrible story to tell people

DH is quite good at taking the piss out of himself so when I told my brother about what DH had done, and H didn't appear to mind and even found it funny, I didn't think it was an issue

I wouldn't have told anyone had I thought he would have been embarrassed but he seemed fine about it, even telling people himself!

If it was a problem he should have just me to keep quiet and I totally would have

I wouldn't have told anyone had I thought he would have been embarrassed but he seemed fine about it, even telling people himself!

Aye nae bother.

Oh the banter

why would people think vomiting is funny? I wouldn't tell embarrassing stories about my dh and neither would he and I don't think anyone I know would find it funny either I have nicked a road sign when I was a student many years ago they are surprisingly heavy

Clearly this is not being told as an amusing anecdote, but as a public criticism of your OH. Surely this is a private matter between the two of you and I doubt very much whether anyone else finds it anything other than awkward to listen to.
