Would this be acceptable to you ?

Would it be okay for your DP to escort a woman home in a cab because she was so drunk she couldnt walk and all her friends had buggered off ???

Oh yeah, I also don't understand how she was able to walk to the cab but then not to her room.

That is also weird.

Seriously has no one else here been sober enough in a bar/club to have coherent ish conversations and walk stagger about only to get in a car/taxi and completely lose the ability to do anything?

Just me then

Me too !

I was out with dp for his birthday in jan and we left a bar at 12am, walked to kebad shop, ordered kebab and chips..... the rest i dont remember.

After this I walked with dp to mil's apparently throwing chips at dp, then got a lift home in fil's car !!!??? dont remember getting home at all !

Wasnt too bad next day though....

Blimey that was a bit over zealous of MN Towers - I thought Gorgeous2's post was a bit juvenile and unfunny, but not a personal attack and hardly worth a deletion!

I think GORGEOUS2 (not to be confused with GORGEOUSX) has been trolling a fair bit round MN today

nancydrew living up to the name there!!

I wouldn't be happy with this at all.

I'd phone the woman myself and ask her for the £50 pronto, telling her I need it urgently.

I don't see anything amiss with his story at all, and I'd be enormously proud of how he acted if he were my DP.

I vividly and with great shame recall a night out with work colleagues which ended in a very similar way. I arrived very late because something came up at work and stupidly tried to play catch up on an empty stomach (everyone else had eaten by the time I arrived). I had two glasses of wine and was feeling fine. Then the bell rang for last orders and someone bought me a double sambuca. I downed it with everyone else, and started walking with a bunch of others to the train station. I was planning to catch the last train, others wanted the taxi rank. I was walking just fine and then suddenly the sambuca hit me and I just collapsed. It was incredibly sudden, frighteningly so. Luckily a colleague bundled me into her cab home and let me stay in her spare room - and I promptly repaid her by vomitting in her hall and then shitting myself in her shower .

My point is that I was perfectly capable one minute and almost unconcious 5 minutes later. It can happen like that sometimes.

"Im assuming they came out of bar at 12.30 to 1am, it can take time for booze to suddenly wreck you....?"

I find that when I am drunk I got more sober as time goes on, not more drunk .

I promptly repaid her by vomitting in her hall and then shitting myself in her shower .

That made me spit my drink everywhere ! Haaaa !!

Personally the last few drinks hit me when I get into fresh air, 10-20 minutes later.....

LMHF Aren't I just

Being somewhat inacapacitated at the moment I am spending waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much time on MN - tis amazing what you start to pick up

Hmm - may have revealed a bit too much there....

If dh told me this story, exactly how you've written it, then I'd take it at face value.

I'd be pissed off that he was so late, I'd be pissed off about the money and make damn sure he got it back, but I wouldn't question for a second that he didn't do the right thing seeing her home.

Bedroom thing doesn't bother me either. It's not like he's saying he helped her into her pjs - it's only a room ffs.
