Have had an argument with dh about his behaviour when he goes away for weekends/nights away and the amount of alcohol he drinks. I really don't care about the amount he drinks as long and he keeps himself safe but he doesn't. He gets himself into some unsafe situations, has gaps in his memory and seems to forget he has a wife and kids and isn't contactable at all. Or he calls me and is so drunk he says he's in situations that are worrying but aren't real or has no idea where he is/what he's doing. It used to be worse and has improved over the last 18 years but is still a problem.
Was chatting to a friend who basically believes that all men have a control problem after they've had a few drinks and all men get ridiculously drunk and can't help themselves. And that I'm the unreasonable one for expecting dh to behave differently. I feel like that's a bloody cop out and it makes its seem like men are these pathetic creatures who have no control over their alcohol consumption after the 3Rd drink. So do you have a dh that is like mine or is your dh completely capable or not being a dick after a few too many and can recognise his limit with alcohol?
When I think about the males in my life who do drink they all seem to get very drunk on nights out.
Aibu to believe that men can control their drinking? And that my friend has an awful stereotypical view of men and alcohol?
Aibu to think there must be men out there that don't worry their wives stupid when they go away for a weekend drinking?
