Got drunk and upset DH

Last night we decided to get a few bottles of vodka in as my birthday is coming up but we ended up inviting a few friends around (both his and mine) and had quite a bit to drink. My relationship with DH has been quite strained recently and a big bust up has been waiting to happen but I've been trying to keep the peace, until last night when I had a few too many.

It started off with me telling everyone what DH eats in a normal day (v. excessive with food) and it was said in a very "here's a laugh for everyone.." kind of way. DH got annoyed as his mates started to take the mick out of him so he pulled me up in the kitchen and asked me to stop showing him up. When we went back into the front room they had all got together and stuffed things up their tops to take the mick out of DH's belly. I was in hysterics but I could see DH getting more and more wound up. A bit later on we split, boys in the kitchen and girls in the living room and our conversation got onto DH again and I told them that I felt he was really camp, we had a good laugh about that but then they started shouting of him and doing camp/gay gestures to him, everyone was in hysterics and DH pulled me aside again and told me to change the subject. By the end of the night most of his mates had gone home and it was just 3 of my friends and one of DH's, he had stopped drinking but me and my friends were getting very drunk by this point and I scribbled all over a photo of his mum and stuck it on the fridge, we cut up a few pairs of his socks and threw some of his boxer shorts out of the front bedroom window, I have not laughed so much for years and the night really cheered me up, DH however is not talking to me and has even said now that he is wondering if we are really suited to one another.

I know I went over-board but he has embarrassed me before in front of friends, just he doesnt like it when the tables are turned. I know I should apologise for taking the piss taking so far but I also know he wouldnt apologise if it was the other way around. Maybe he's right anyway and we're not suited, he's a misserable git and I like a laugh. What should I do?

your relationship sounds horrible, think you would both be better off without each oter tbh

do you have children?

(sw - Jeremy Kyle surely)

Ah, so treating him as badly as he treats you will solve all your problems, yes?

You sound genuinely unhappy with the situation and I can't say I blame you, but really you should either sit down and sort it out honestly (Relate is def worth a go) or leave him altogether. Harsh I know, but if you're so miserable you feel you have to get horribly drunk and do awful things I think it's probably best if this is sorted out sooner rtaher than later.

he is after my time OO, I know not who he is

We get Trisha on UK TV, but it's on at 7.30 am and the kids are demonstrating for Popeye and Back yardigans at that time and I usually cave in

Come to Perth

This thread reminds me of The Twits.

have only read OP but my DH would be seeing a lawyer by now. Not at all funny imo. We have had loads of horrible pissed up rows but always in private. I would never, regardless of anything my dh did, show him up in public like this. Very sad indeed, no respect

Fuck me there are not many threads that truly make my jaw drop

Just read it out to dp who says "She should stick with him because her chances of finding anyone else to marry are quite poor"

ok im fighting the urge to shout "Jerry Jerry" here.
This sounds a VERY unhealthy way to live,
I can say only one thing GET THE F*CK OUT OF THERE

Sandcastles · 07/09/2006 03:14

Ok, so you like a laugh, but IMO, laughing at somebody else's expense, so repeatedly after being asked not to is just too much.

If he does it to you then you have just sunk to his level, if i was one of your guests I would have left, quite embarresed!

NannyStar · 07/09/2006 09:35

i think you are plain NASTY and IGNORANT...it isn't funny to show someone up like that you horrible woman

colditz · 07/09/2006 09:37

You've been a bit of a twat, and I'mn not surprised your husband comfort eats if he has to live with that sort of behavior. You sound like Vikkkkiiii Pollard!

NannyStar · 07/09/2006 09:37

I surely don't think the OP is for real. I can smell something hairy under the bridge.

NannyStar · 07/09/2006 09:38

Ha ha ha @ Vicki Pollard Colditz!!!!!!!!

colditz · 07/09/2006 09:38

Reading on, he's a twat too. Christ.

Have read the whole thread, and thoroughly agree with Misdee's comment.
