whether to report dh for drink driving right now?

[steakandmantoo]

I can't even believe I'm in this predicament. DH is a bus driver, so driving is his job, what supports us.

he has came home drunk a few times, where he has drove home, and I've been angry, and warned him to not do it again.

He just popped back now to drop me some food off, and I smelt vodka, his eyes looked red, and his cousin is in the car, drunk also. He flat out denied it, and said I'm imagining things, and then he went back to his car and drove off.

I'm really worried about him killing himself and cousin, and other people. But if I report him, and the police catch him, that means his jobs gone, and we would be left broke with no income?

I just don't know what to do to make sure he never does this again.

Please show your utterly abhorrent husband this m.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ5hpTOSHSw

What a steaming piece of shit
I hope they throw the book at him

How could you ever look him in the eye again? He is beneath contempt

You're very brave OP. That must have been incredibly difficult, but it was the right thing to do.

Well done OP, that was incredibly brave of you & says a lot about your own strength of character. for you.

Well done op

That was really brave of you, we all know it's the right thing to do, but it do it when its the households dole income is brave.

You have done the right thing, hopefully so will the police and they can take some dangerous drivers off our roads.

Let us know if they do.

Very selfless of you 💐

It was wrong to snitch on your husband. You could had made him get a lift tonight in a cab and in the future, buy him a breathalyser and help him overcome any difficulties that he may have with drinking. You are a team.

I applaud you OP, he would only have learnt his lesson by getting caught or causing an accident, getting caught is obviously the "better" option.

I hope he's ashamed of himself.

Never admit you called the police, delete your call history and he'll have no proof

Well done OP. I once reported a work colleague who drove regularly after drinking and taking coke. He was banned for 2 years and I have no guilt.

As someone who's lost a relative because of a drink driver I thank you.

Well done OP, you have done the right thing.

It was wrong to snitch on your husband

It’s wrong to drink drive.
Let’s not make this OPs fault

@rp30 so you would be happy for one of your family members to be killed or injured by a drink driver as he is part of a team and no one should report him?

@halocompanach
You can be arrested for even unlocking the car, it’s classed as intent to drive, you can also be charged after exiting the vehicle.
The majority of those charged with drink driving offences pleas not guilty with the hope of a technicality getting them off 😡

@rp30 where's ops DH showing any loyalty to her and their DC? Not much of a team player if he's driving under the influence risking others lives and his own with the impact that has to his family... Get real fgs

Well done OP.

What a hard choice OP, but the right one IMO.

Very brave and selfless act, OP.
Ýou are to be praised for your courage.

Well her soon to be ex husband brought it in himself.

Well done. That was a brave thing to do. Ignore the victim blaming.

RP30 on the other hand.......is either looking for someone to bite , or truly believes his/her post.
If its the latter, I suspect one brain cell is now dozing and the other is close to comatose.

It was wrong to snitch on your husband. You could had made him get a lift tonight in a cab and in the future, buy him a breathalyser and help him overcome any difficulties that he may have with drinking. You are a team Yes that's exactly what all of us with dead loved ones due to drink driving think!

Ffs OP please don't listen to such idiotic opinions. You know you've done the right thing. I just want to thank you for your bravery. If there's a group of them you may have saved multiple lives tonight.
