Keeping it short and sweet, I have become very uncomfortable with mine and hubby's social life. We have some couple friends (our children are all friends) but I am convinced they are functioning alcoholics and I am feeling unsettled and anxious about how we socialise. It always involves late nights, far too much booze and usually a hefty bill at the end of the night. I am so much happier with good company, a nice meal and a couple of glasses of wine but I am feeling very pressured to keep up the late night and endless alcohol socialising. I tend to flag by about 10pm so midnight feels torturous!
I have raised this with my husband and he feels I am overreacting and that I can't just call it a night when I choose. He feels I need to consider him more and that I should put up with the late nights every now and then and that if we're having fun we carry on.
My problem is that once i hit tiredness and have had a few drinks, it no longer becomes fun! I am happy to go without drinking but I just don't feel I'd last any longer then either!
Help! I can't figure out if I'm being an irritating high-maintenance wife or if he needs to support me more! 😩
