Went to DH friends party with DH. Mild crush on his friend. Just learnt via the friend that I said awful things to him and then followed him into his bedroom. My DH said on Sunday that I was v drunk but didn't tell me all the awful things I said. DH friend said I was like a stalker! My face us burning, I feel so stupid, in tears, wishing I could travel back in time. I'm on a diet, as always, so hadn't eaten and everyone was going shots. Can never see DH friend again and also why didn't DH tell me what an absolute horror I am. Not sure what to do, seems even worse writing it down if that's possible. Bloody hate me.

Do not tell him about your crush (assuming this is something that will never ever ever happen again!).
I found out about one of my boyfriends OLD crushes - a friend he was still in contact with - and now that she is reminiscing about what "could have been" and its floored me. Its all fine etc, I know he wont act on it and I am grateful I know the total truth, but part of me wishes I didnt. Ill never be comfortable around her and he knows it but due to her very ill father I know theyll be in touch soon. Bleugh.

You are totally overthinking it - I am telling you this because I have done the same. Horrible horrible but as Nick was sober, he is probably over thinking it too, in a diff way. Youve done what you can, I dont think some people are helping here but I can hand on heart say I understand, Ive been in ridiculous drinking situations and Ive seen others do so.
Ive always reassured a friend that we looked after them etc, no harm would come. I think if a friend is horrible after the event, it says more about them.
I think there are issues because of what your dp did - I dont think Id be able to get round that, but if you have, then make sure youre never retaliating - if thats the situation - get out, no good will come.
However, to me, sounds like the drama is coming from Nick. Forget about it!

oh and I made a solemn promise to never ever do shots again a couple of years ago. I never could handle them so ruling them out works for me. I am def more susceptible to drink than my friends so I have to be very careful - so when theyre all doing shots, I abstain. I never EVER feel like Im missing out!!!!!

Agree with LadyLemongrab, OP. You are fixating on your crush and how badly Nick thinks of you... nevermind what your husband thinks, just what this Nick thinks? Confused

You've apologised - sincerely - leave it there now. To place an expectation on Nick to respond to you is unfair. Why are you expecting a reply? Why should he reply to you at all?

That's why you're upset as you've just identified in your last post. Nick is horrified at your behaviour, compared you to a stalker. You need to steer a wide berth now and stay off the drink because it doesn't agree with you and you'll do this again if the root cause is still there.

Please don't, it doesn't look nice and it's uncomfortable for others. I know you're fixated on Nick but there's every chance that your behaviour was noted by other people too.

Forget. It. Smile

Ah OP I totally feel for you! But honestly, this too shall pass! I've made a twat of myself in the past, always where shots have been involved, I don't touch the things now. For what it's worth Nick sounds v precious, most people can see when a person is smashed and acting out of character and the gentlemanly thing to do would have been to roll his eyes and steer you in the direction of DH with a quick "I think someone's had a few too many".

The fact that Nick has made such a big deal out of it makes me think actually that he IS a dick. A friend's DH made very drunken advances to me at a party once, I knew he was battered so just ignored it and the next day he sent me a mortified text begging for my forgiveness. Which of course being a decent, realistic person I said no worries and the matter was dropped.

NEWSFLASH - sometimes people act out of character when they have drank too much alcohol. Stop beating yourself up, OP. Move on from this, you're DH isn't perfect, neither are you and actually no bloody one is, aside from a few that post on here that claim to have never got drunk and made a dick of themselves.

You WILL laugh about this, it will take a few months, admittedly, but you will laugh about it in a cringe type way!

Spartacus... I HAVE been this drunk and done almost this... albeit my boss at the time. I'm now teetotal as I couldn't face ever being like that again. Blush

Jemimarose... Have you forgiven yourself yet and are you now recovered? I've been thinking about you and wondered how you were getting on. I thought I'd regale you with a tale of my drunkenness (my very worst one).

It was an Awards Night in 2006 at a city centre hotel and I was attending with lots of peers, my boss and my then chief executive. We were all staying over in the hotel. I was nervous, am not a big drinker and my mate (who is a fab drinker) gave me some Archers Cranberry. I didn't much like the taste and couldn't keep up with her by sipping it so I slugged it down.

About half an hour later, we were sitting down to dinner and for some reason, I climbed up on the table, with heels on, hoicked my long dress into my knickers, flinged off my strapless bra (which I really needed) and thew it somewhere on the table. I then grabbed a bottle and used it as a microphone to sing loudly and out of tune - in French, (I wasn't bad, apparently).

Then, for some even more inexplicable reason, I crouched down to kiss the top of my chief executive's bald head, loosing my footing and ending up face down, upside down, in his lap. I then struggled to my feet, back up on the table, whereupon a promptly fell off, hitting my face on the way down.

I woke up the next morning, in my hotel room, convulsed with hangover and shame - and sporting a whopping black eye.

I cannot tell you how derisive the laughter was from my colleagues and boss when I rang in to say that I wouldn't be in that day or the next. When I eventually got back to work my chief exec called me in. I was terrified. He winked and handed me my discarded bra... ShockBlushShockSadShock

I have been teetotal from that horrible night to this day... I hope my story makes you feel better. GrinThanks

Are you 100% certain nothing happened?

It does seem like an overreaction from him to a bit of (sorry OP) annoying, drunken behaviour.

If you can't remember everything, I wouldn't be so surprised to find out that something had happened and that's why Nick is laying it on so thick with how disgusting you are and how much you stalked him until he succumbed

I know I'm going to get flamed. Just a different theory.

Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much, the day after the night before is a bit horrible, but it will fade with time.
