Last year, due to me being ill I couldn't go to dh's works do, he went anyway, even though he doesn't HAVE to, he then got totally paralytic and decided it was quicker to walk home (through a v v rough area) on his own as it was easier than getting a taxi, its about 5 miles, I found out a few days later that someone had offered him a lift home but he said no because the bar wasn't shut, there was about half hour left including drinking up time.
When he got in, he was shaking with cold as he also hadn't taken a jacket and he was so drunk he could barely say my name, so goodness knows how he walked home, but it was the longest walk of my life, especially as someone was viciously beaten and spent weeks in hospital near where he walked past and I don't want to do that again, AND when he went to bed he was that drunk didn't make it to the loo and wet the bed
It is getting towards that time again when his works do will be wanting numbers for a who are going and he is hinting at going on his own again so that he can possibly go into town with the lads after, i'm not happy about this as his works do will be the only time I go out this christmas. A few weeks ago he went on a works do and I KNEW he would be steaming because it was a free bar, I paid for him to stop at a travel inn nearby so I wouldn't have to see him in such a state, but instead he walked to her sisters and made her bring him home so not only did I have to put up with being woken up, but I hardly slept because he has a habit of nearly burning kitchens down when drunk and he was in bed all the next day disgustingly hungover AND I lost the money for the travel inn because he was a no show.
Would you let him go on his own, or if we are unable to get a babysitter, should we BOTH stay at home with a bottle or two of wine and watch a DVD?
