DH should APOLOGISE to neighbours

Had a small bbq last night and invited neighbour round who came with her two kids (aged 11 and 9). DH has had a lot to drink. I had also been drinking but was not drunk.
For context, I have aspergers and tend to repeat phrases I’ve heard. DH hates it and always picks me up on it but I don’t always realise I’m doing it.
Neighbour commented on the chicken and said it was nice, I told her the recipe and used a word that upset DH and so he flung his head back, screamed out the word and then hurled his can of beer into the air (showering neighbour with beer) before running around the garden repeating it over and over. Neighbour was gobsmacked and the eldest boy said “is he drunk??”. I was so embarrassed. Neighbour knows I have aspergers so doesn’t pick me up on words I use etc so she had no idea why he’d acted like that. She left shortly afterwards making an awkward joke about needing to get changed. I’m supposed to be meeting her for a run today and I’ve heard nothing from her and dare not contact her. DH won’t apologise as he says “we were all drunk” but we wasn’t! Just him!

You also need to tell him nobody was as drunk as him and there were kids present!!

But don’t feel too embarrassed. Last time we had a garden party (last summer) my friend got so drunk she fell in the pond! It’s not like it’s easy to miss either, it has lights all around it and a low fence. Someone else was sick in a bush after too much whisky 🙄

What a complete nasty dick. Either this is what he's really like, in which case it's LTB territory or he hasn't some real problems right now so needs to seek help

Jesus Christ! I hope she's left him by now.

ZOMBIE! Now there'll be 500 posters who haven't RTFT along to ask what the OP was doing having neighbours round in lockdown Confused

We'll never know what happened! I hope the op is in a happier situation by now - away from the bully.
