Drunk husband

[Thankfulsunshine]

I’m fuming!
Husband went out for a round of golf at 7:30am. He’s just returned (in taxi) steaming at 10pm. Not one txt/call.
I don’t want him to think this is acceptable but I don’t want to lower myself to that level either. He’s asleep on sofa now.
Anyone have any ideas for the morning?
I don’t want to be a push over

Depends.

Regular occurrence or a one off?

Was he supposed to be doing something with you that he’s missed?

If it’s out of character I’d find out what happened and take it with good humour, but with the expectation that it doesn’t become a habit.

Different story if he is often unreliable.

Hide his golf clubs and tell him he must have left them in the taxi.

Depends on the dc situation. How many, how old etc. So was dh shirking his responsibilities?

🤣😂🤣That is brilliant userxx!

I have one that went to the pub to watch Liverpool. It is our village pub and about a minutes walk so I went down when I thought he should be home. I had a beer then suggested we went back. He was swaying so when he was going to the loo at home I suggested he go and watch tv up there. I haven’t seen him since 5 pm and I have had peace and quiet and two pieces of trout instead of one😆 he doesn’t do it very often and our kids have flown the nest.
You could make him promise that you get a full day out sometime as payback.

@Redsquirrel5 perfect night all round then eh 🤣

You have put this in parenting was that intended? Does he have to look after children today ? I mean you could tell him he is grounded untill you say so or you could just be annoyed that he didn't phone.

If my husband turned up at home drunk after a day out I'd be amused tbh and put him to bed like a baby. Then laugh at his hangover the next day.

I often read on mumsnet how angry people are at their partners having fun and getting pissed. And then having to give them some sort of payback. 😮 Lighten up and stop being so controlling!

What time had he told you he was coming back?

What's the big deal? He had fun for a few hours. He's back now.

What's the problem exactly? Unless he was supposed to be looking after the kids and it's not happening every weekend, just let him get on with it.
