DH stumbled through the door about 30 minutes ago. He took a half day to go drinking with some of his colleagues - he’s sunburnt, pissed and using vile language.

Apparently, there was ‘tits and arse’ everywhere and he now remembers why he used to love going to the beer garden on a sunny day so much before we met, as there’s barely any clothing in sight! Apparently I have nothing to worry about, as he looked but didn’t touch 🙄

I have sent him upstairs and told him to stay out of my sight. We have a young DC who I’ve been at my wits end with all day and he had promised me he’d come home in a fit state to help with dinner/bed time etc.

Please tell me I’m not alone in have a selfish prat of a husband!!

My exH was very much like that. Which is why he is an ex.

The current MrPony rarely drinks, but more importantly he isn't a crude, boorish arsehole.

I really dislike my husband when he's drunk, he turns into something like a character from the Inbetweeners, he has no filter when he drinks and turns into a slurry horrible mess. I hate it, he is 58! He is nothing like this when sober but it has really turned me off him over the years. I can't imagine ever living with anyone else and we get on well (when he doesn't drink) but it has stopped me finding him attractive.

Edited to add that he is autistic and often 'turns into' the company he is keeping so depending on who he is with depends on how he acts. This is possibly most of the issue with him.

@AquaPeer what is your relationship like with alcohol? And if healthy now…. Has it always been a healthy relationship with alcohol?

Are you American?

He’d only have done it once. LTB.
