To be a little annoyed at DP'S "Holier -than -thou" attitude.

[wrinklytum]

OK so I know I was being a bit of a prat for the first one but last Friday,having been alcohol free for a month,I made the mistake of getting a bottle of wine and having a few glasses too many,in fact,I was giggling so hard at a thread I fell off my chair and the computer came crashing down too.

Yesterday evening I nipped out of the house to shop and then after returning thought I had locked the front door,only I hadn't,and when dp got up this morning the door was ajar.

Anyhow dp began ranting raving,swearing at me for being totally irresponsible and so on.

Now I am embarrased about scenario a but in my defense will say that I do not usually get to that level of pishedness,and am usually a fairly responsible 37 Year old woman.Scenario b well,yes I should have checked the door but I guess we are all human.I apologised etc and he huffed "Well,thats just not good enough" like I was 5 or something.

His response seems way OTT to me,especially as in the past he has done MANY stupid things whilst under the influence of the beer,such as peeing the bed and vomiting all over my hall carpet.He can't drink now and I guess my inebriated antics of a were silly,but the way he laid into made me quite shocked etc.

It would be justifiable if he had never done anything of similar stupidity but his reaction seemed ott.So,AIBU granted that my behaviour did lack decorum OR is he BU for his OTT response.

Thanks.

(Dons hard hat)

Well, he was probably worried about you in both cases, and that often comes out as a bit of a sermon. The fact that he's not perfect doesn't mean he can't tell you that you've been a bit silly.

I once went out for the day leaving the front door open, not just unlocked but wide open. thankfully dh didn't find out. he too would have ranted and raved. so i stand in solidarity with you - YANBU - its easily done.

Jesus, I do stuff like that sober in my normal day to day life My DH calls me calamity 'guacamole'.

It's happened, you said sorry, nothing bad happened as a result and he needs to get over it.

probably a bit ott if he's done it in the past himself.
but that all depends how did you respond when he did similar things? did you claim that it was "just not good enough from a grown man"
in which case i'd say what's good for the goose is good for the gander

If my DH said "Well,thats just not good enough" to me I'd want to punch him. I guess in the same way that there's no anti-smoker more self-righteous than an ex-smoker, there's probably no teetotaller more self-righteous than an ex-drinker. YANBU.

perfect thing to store away for the next time he does anything wrong!!!!
i too have bashed every car we had(last incident involved smashing off electric wing mirror!),bent very expensive gold lead for dvd player and various other non pissed incidents. DH is notoriously accident prone and is always doing stupid things.
He just laughs now and i roll my eyes.
As long as no-one has been hurt does it really matter?

dh can be a bit like this sometimes, but then he regularly leaves the keys in the outside of the front door after opening it when pissed.....

so he has no legs to stand on really

He's just jealous that you can take the drink but he's not allowed.

ex drinkers/smokers/convicts are always the worst. They always overdo the piety.

if its a one off an apology is sufficient. its when its a regular occurance that an apology isn't sufficient and extra measures need to be discussed

int his light therefore, a sincere apology is sufficient. tell him to shut the fuck up and get over it becuase there is nothing else you can do

Just tell him your competing with his silly antics when drunk to see if you can be as good at making a tit of yourself, up to know you thought you were failing miserably but this telling of has confirmed your not far behind

know = now, sorry
