DH out most of the night

[namechange1111111111]

My DH of late seems to be unable to go out and come back at a reasonable hour. We have a toddler, both work shifts and he says he needs to have a blow out every now and again.

The problem is it's now not just now and again it's every time he goes 'out out', which to be fair isn't every week, more like once a month. He generally comes back by 05.30 but the more he drinks, the less he contacts me and the more I worry and then can't sleep.

As not to drip feed I would say I have abandonment issues from my childhood (so I'm not sure whether this is clouding my judgement). I also have trust issues in our marriage, no cheating but definitely boundary crossing in terms of communication.

Is this normal and ok?

Marriage is supposed to be based on mutual respect and love . Discuss your feelings with him when he's home and sober and explain he's entities to a blow out obviously but so are you - so book a babysitter next time and go out together and have fun.

It wouldn’t bother me if DH went out once a month and to be honest if he is out he is out and he can com echo me when he wants. But I know that I could do the same if I wanted, which might be relevant to you. I think once a month would be about the limit, this is hypothetical as neither of us does that, in reality he would only have a big night like that (he would book a hotel and stay out) about once a year.
