For context. Never met them before. Fairly new relationship. About 5 months.

Last night bf supposed to come over but parents having people over. His sister drove him and suggested he invite me and she drive us back. if I'm honest I felt like if I'd have had more wanting id have said no I'm not ready, the house is a mess I'm knackered, but was aware his sister would have heard me make excuses and I was worried it would have been rude.

I had run out of anything to bring except a big bottle of prosecco ( one of those double ones from Lidl) expecting everyone to drink it. Except I was the only one and I ended up rat arsed!! I was quite nervous and basically didn't say much and was clearly quite sozzled. Not lary, not inappropriate, quietly quite drunk. Boyfriend seemed obviously embarrassed and took me to bed.

I'm mortified. Rethinking whole relationship and my own relationship with prosecco. I shouldn't have gone and shouldnt have drunk nearly as much as I did and I'm mortified I was disrespectful and spoilt their evening. Thinking about breaking up with new boyfriend. Talk me down or tell me straight. How bad is it??

OP I cannot believe posters on here are pearl clutching and trying to make you feel guilty because you got drunk?! Who bloody cares?! It’s Christmas! Honestly, there are some precious snowflakes around.

Okay so getting pissed and feeling embarrassed isn’t great, but if you weren’t stripping or mouthing off insulting people then really, I doubt anyone would care that you were pissed!

if its a long term thing, you will laugh about this for years to come. If not, it won't really matter. Apologise, and next time make sure it's champagne. (or stick to soft drinks!)

Quick update - thanks to all you lovely people for being so nice to me. I took his mum a bunch of flowers yest and she and his dad were absolutely lovely. She said she understood I must have been knackered from Xmas and everyone's done it , including her, bless her. All well with the bf who said how much everyone liked me and understood I was nervous. So all well, and no more magnums of prosecco for me!! Xmas Grin

Yay :)

Lovely update. My son's GF of a few months got absolutely pajama'd at our house on Christmas eve and I suspect felt a bit of the fear Christmas morning opening presents with us, but you know what, it was Christmas and totally allowed and I thought it was quite sweet that she felt relaxed enough around us to let herself go.

Please don't worry, it will be a funny story to tell in the future xx

Lovely update!

I'm worried he's embarrassed of me!

If you getting nervous and having a bit much to drink , upsets him, then you're probably well rid.

If he can't understand human nature when people get nervous, then you're probably well rid

Also, putting you on the spot when his sister might have been able to hear you say 'not tonight' , isn't thoughtful or kind

If I'm honest, he sounds a bit of a plonker
