Husband recorded me without my knowledge

Last night I got pretty drunk at my work Christmas party which is unusual for me (last time I was drunk was years ago). DH picked me up in the early hours and took me home. He had to help me get in the house, up the stairs and in bed which took about 10 minutes (I'm absolutely mortified, this is not like me!)

This morning I woke up (unsurprisingly) with a hangover, and DH and I had a giggle and chat about the events the night before. He then told me he had recorded on my phone the debacle of me getting up the stairs and in bed as he thought I might find it funny to watch the next day. I watched it, thought it was equally funny and embarrassing and initially forgot about it. Now I'm not so sure how I feel about my DH recording me without my knowledge, even if it was on my phone.

My DB came round today for dinner and my drunkenness came up in conversation. I showed him a bit of the video (not usual for us, we're really close) and we all laughed about it, but then DH volunteered a few other embarrassing details about how he had to help me get in the car, take shoes off etc, that I thought were unnecessary. He didn't do it in a mocking or derogatory way but I just didn't see the point of adding further details that only added to my embarrassment.

He knows my feelings have changed and has apologised but I'm still processing how I feel about all of this and want to know how others would feel/think in a similar situation? I feel a bit violated but don't know if I'm overreacting.

As everyone else has said.

Sometimes when my DH is snoring offensively loudly, I record him for a few seconds and send the clip to him. It’s done to be funny and to demonstrate why I complain he is so loud, and he takes it that way. If snoring came up in a conversation with someone I knew my DH was close to and it wasn’t inappropriate to comment about it, I’d mention it then. I don’t really see the difference between my actions and your husband’s. Obviously if my DH ever appeared or said he wasn’t happy about it, I would stop. So I could understand your AIBU if you’d asked him to not do this and he had continued.

Sorry but you sound rediculous! Your DH was having a laugh theres nothing more to it

Hmmm

He only showed you, you chose to show your brother.....
Surely its only a problem if he shares it with other people without your consent....?

I think yabu. I videoed my dh as he falls asleep and does a really silly wake up when I wake him up. We laugh and that's it. I wouldn't show it to anyone unless he asked to and I usually delete it after I've showed him.
