Husband likes to stay our till 4 to 6am

[AshK777]

Hey everyone I just feel like I need some unbiased opinions.

My Husband is 30, and when he goes out he often stays put really late... like between 4 and 6am not he only does this about 4 times a year (he goes out more to football and things and other stuff)
He tells me he's allowed a blow out every now and then but I don't feel like it's acceptable.
Besides the states he gets in, I feel like any time after 2 is really unacceptable.
I don't want my children thinking that behaviour is normal. He always feel sorry for himself the dat after his nights out cause he's so hungover and doesn't move off the couch.
I disagree so much that I actually feel like eventually we might break up over it. He's not taking me seriously when I say it but I really don't want to be with a party boy and I don't want my children to think it's normal.
Am I being over the top?

You're clearly not compatible.

For you, being a partner and mother seems to come first. He seems to socialise a lot and you've said you don't do that at all. What do you do for down time?

Obviously the pissing down the stairs and bringing drugs home are totally unacceptable - this is not the level of drunkenness we are agreeing with when we say 'yabu' - I think most of us are talking about getting a bit merry, catching up with friends and having a dance.

The drip feeding isn't helping you here, nor is your 'I came here looking for people to agree with me'.

He sounds a bit useless, you sound a bit Aunt Lydia.

Did he want the kids?

I think you should separate. You’re very different and don’t appear to have any shared goals or values.

I could live with the blow outs as long as its his own he is spending and I didn't have to pick up after him the next day!

Whilst it isn't to my taste, I wouldn't criticise someone who wants to stay out til the early hours four times a year. There's nothing wrong with that in itself. Being older / a parent doesn't mean you have to stop having fun late at night!!

However, if those late nights mean he's useless the next day and everything's on you, then you need to make sure you also get some 'me time' to match it. If he's rolling home drunk and shouting and not in control of himself (weeing doen the stairs!) then - not on.

It isn't a bad example for children to see their parents having fun - it's a good example. And parents are allowed to have fun with their friends, it doesn't always have to be with their partner. Also a good example. It can be late at night or in the early hours. No problem. So long as each parent has the same amount of 'down time' and isn't doing anything stupid like drugs or drink driving. Obviously.
