To be pissed off my husband lost his wedding jacket?

He went on his Christmas do and not only did he decide it was on to walk home 2 miles in not the best weather (I still can't believe his friends would let him do that) but he lost our wedding jacket, that does make very, very pissed off/sad.

Your emotions of sadness and loss are valid, I get the sentimentality, but I do think it's unreasonable to be annoyed with him. I think it's nice he wore the jacket out and gave it a bit more real life instead of it staying static in a wardrobe or something.

@tattygrl

What has been lost?

Not the jacket, nor the car keys, nor the Christmas cash bonus.

Didn't get caught up on the whole thread before posting, so I was just referring to the emotional side of losing a sentimental item.

He is a grown ass adult- stop babying him. Sure the jacket has sentimential value but you're acting like he burned it right infront of you!

I couldn't even pretend to care if my husband did this. Clothes mean nothing and he made it home safe 🤷‍♀️

I can really relate to feeling sentimental about clothes which have a special meaning. I would try contacting the places he went to it might turn up. Also if it doesn’t you feel better that you tried. The sad feeling will pass. Re drunk behaviour well it could have been a lot worse! At least he didn’t climb into a car and hurt someone. If he tends to do this with these friends it’s his responsibility but drunk behaviour can be dangerous try pointing this out.

I honestly don't understand why people just refuse to read the thread and keep posting that it will turn up.
THE JACKET HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!
This is becoming "cancel the cheque"

Well having read this thread and the drip feeds...

I know said jacket is recovered... but...

"we wear our wedding clothes out for special dates and occasions" is kind of sweet / or twee / or rather ahem .. unusual after a couple years (select your option). But Meh he lost his jacket... shouldn't wear sentimental one out if he gets roaring drunk . It's either a coat or it isn't, he's not in a museum.

He gets drunk occasionally when out, his choice not his friends "who let him". Look he's allowed to go out and have fun, get himself home and he's not a young teenager who's older friends "led him astray"

I'm far more concerned about the fact you're married to a man who

  • gets so drunk he falls off a boat
  • carries on getting that drunk despite erm... falling off a boat!
  • drinks to point he's blind drunk and unable to make safe decisions .... and without being in safe company (like with you) you fear he is that idiotic then, he might not get himself home safely
  • doesn't organise himself a taxi despite having £350-500 in his pocket
-forgets for hours that he was supposed to text you if needed lift- so his wife will have stayed awake anxious
  • walks home 2 miles in rain in freezing temperature without any coat instead of organising said taxi or lift because he's an idiot
  • gets roaring drunk with his £500 Xmas cash bonus in his pocket such that he has no idea where this is, or his car keys are, the next morning ... oh ..look he left them in his jacket ..which he left behind in a pub

Velvet Wedding jacket would be least of my worries about your husband! Shock

Lets assume poster is genuine. The lost jacket is the least of her problems. Shouldn't her husband be sorting out his alcohol issues?!
