DH has just come home pissed as a fart

So I’m going to divide opinions here but I’ve got to ask , AIBU to be absolutely delighted with this?
as a family we’ve had a really tough few years , DC has sen , he’s marvellous but hard work , we’ve had to learn to live around his needs. I’ve recently had a horrible health scare which is still ongoing and I genuinely have had to draw every strength I have to keep going with parenting and career .i have at times , been grumpy, dismissive and cold to DH. We’ve both been kind and civil to each other but definitely drifted apart . Anyway , DH has just come back from his works do, it’s pretty much the only night he goes out partying and I knew what to expect when I called him at 2:30 for a quick update and he sounded like he was melting as he slurred that he was nearly home .He’s home now , he’s been lovely and is talking absolute rubbish but with just enough wit that it’s making me collapse with laughter . We have just had the most wonderful , romantic connection in the kitchen because he’s in a hugely silly mood and so am I and for just an hour or so of talking nonsense and laughing all the struggles of SEN parenting , money , cancer and everything else have melted away and it’s been pure silliness just like when we were young and carefree. I know he’s gonna snore and fart like a bush pig all night but I’ve honestly just struggled to breath with laughter and I’m actually feeling like a whole person again.
i think I’ve just remembered how to banter and have fun . Thank you DH boss , I’m sorry if he’s been a pain / expensive ( he’s a 6’4 22st Viking so achieving this level of pissed won’t have been cheap ) tonight but I think he really needed this . So did I .

This has made my day. Hope you get your break. Made me re think the way I feel. Peace to us all.

I love this OP. I rolled in drunk at midnight and am nursing a hangover this morning. I'm up with the kids eating a pot noodle of all things! He will have the kids later so I can go to a Christmas market.

We have two boys- one with SEN. It's a reminder to appreciate everything he does for me and "allows" me to do. It's not just a simple case of leaving him with the boys as it's full on and me leaving always causes huge anxiety with the sen boy

Brilliant post. Couldn’t not reply to say that. 😍

This lovely thread is s good reminder to reconnect with my loved ones, who often get the moans and groans, rather than the best of me.

Hope you have a wonderful day @Longtimedead123

@5YearsLeft your MIL is a wise woman. I am very sorry to hear about your prognosis and I hope you have a lot of joy over the next few years

Thank you . He’s honestly cracking me up , he’s talking utter shite and quoting terrible jokes but I’ve had to grab a glass of wine and get on his level . While he was out I had a good tidy up and a bath and I’m in my best pyjama bottoms and hoodie but my hair is drying fantastically and I feel alive and beautiful because we are laughing together . We have something to do tomorrow lunchtime so I might have to throw something in the air fryer shortly so we are fit to do that but my god . I can’t remember the last time we had fun. I’d forgotten about this bloke , I quite like him though 😂

This made me smile alot as a parent of a child with asd these moments are precious x

Alexandernevermind · 04/12/2022 07:37


Hope you get chance to go out and get pissed together soon! We haven't done it for years (two teenagers. The last time was a child free family wedding out of town years ago, and it was the best night.

ForgottenNurseryRhymes · 04/12/2022 07:38

Good on you both OP and thanks for sharing this, it's lovely.

HelloTreacle9 · 04/12/2022 07:59

This is a wonderful story OP! It has reminded me to try and reconnect with DH and have some fun again, we’ve had something of a journey ourselves lately and there’s a lot to be said for laughter and silliness in heavy times. Hope he’s not too groggy today and you get that weekend away booked. Xx

Onefootinthegroove · 04/12/2022 08:00

Well this has put a massive smile on my face.
I hope the hangover gods are kind to him today .

LidlCinnamonBun · 04/12/2022 08:01

My husband was so drunk his work friends called me to pick him up.
I didn’t mind as he needed to let go and have fun.
He sang me a terrible song on the way home. The next morning he said it was a lovely song he’d heard on the muppets shop in the 80’s. 🙄

LidlCinnamonBun · 04/12/2022 08:02

*muppets show

Haha this is funny 🤣 my DH also had his works do last night and I was expecting him to stroll in like your DH (as he usually does) however to my shock he came in at 11, seemed sober. Said he'd over-eaten at the Indian and felt too bloated and uncomfortable to go out and carry on drinking bless !

Dashel · 04/12/2022 08:26

Love this.

DH went out on his work do this week. They stayed over so I missed him coming home tipsy, but I had the text messages telling me how much he loved me. They made me smile, DH is so responsible and grown up and it’s so rare for him to let his hair down.

Itsokay2020 · 04/12/2022 09:17

Great thread, OP!! It’s the little things that keep us connected, even when the stresses of life seem overwhelming, those magical moments of love, silliness, laughter and intimacy can often make the biggest difference

Mamaneedsadrink · 04/12/2022 09:28

Sounds wonderful. I'm so pleased for you SmileSmileSmile

Jaybird43 · 04/12/2022 09:31

I love your post, @Longtimedead123 - it sounds as though you both needed to “reset” and remember why you are with each other! Hope his hangover isn’t too painful x

BrutusMcDogface · 25/03/2023 22:34

This thread is from a few months back but it came up on the bottom of my page (threads to do with farts! 😂)

I felt the need to resurrect it to say, how lovely! You’ve made me realise my dp and I really need something like this at the moment. Life’s a struggle! Thank you @Longtimedead123 . Hope you’re still feeling good 💐
