AIBU that my husband refuses to apologise for being dead drunk?

Last night my hubby went to the pub while I stayed home with dd. Fine. But he rolled in at almost 3 am, totally sloshed and crashed on the beanbag in the living room. He knows I find this behaviour upsetting. I told him this morning that I was upset with him and it would be nice of him to apologise but all I got was that 'you want me to say sorry for having fun?'
He used to do this periodically when we were dating but hasn't for a while but I still don't think its acceptable at all. What also pissed me off is that when I was talking about it he tried to turn it back to my irritating habits!

I'm not trying to say he can't go out alone and get a bit merry but I do object to him being that hammered.

No but it can be fun - remember what that was?

Yep, remember really well because I wasn't pissed, you can drink without being pissed you know!

It's an odd and worrying fact that it's deemed completely socially acceptable to drink until you're so out of control, you sleep on the floor/forget what you've been up to/have major personality changes. If this behaviour was down to any other drug except for alcohol, it would be viewed through a completely different lens- yet the only difference is that one drug is legal and the others aren't.

Where has Op said he's out of control or had massive personality changes?

Sleeping downstairs so that you don't wake your partner is really no big deal!

Yes but getting pissed can be a lot of fun. And it doesn't sound like he does it very often and it doesn't sound like his behaviour whilst he was drunk was unacceptable. But I get that some adults like to control how other adults behave.

I’m an adult and a mother. My kids go away over some weekend, so that’s my chance to see the guy I’m dating and we got proper fucking drunk on the last day of the six nations, had a whole bunch of sex and spent Sunday in bed with bacon sandwiches. Wonder what you think of me.

Adults can have fun which involves booze. As long as it isn’t a daily/weekly occurrence.

That sounds an excellent way to spend a weekend!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🌹🍻🍻🏉💪💖
