Bit annoyed today, we went for a meal to celebrate New Year’s Eve and then back to his uncles house for a party. I wanted to play it by ear but no because his friend already committed to going we had to show up for the friend. It got to 12.20 and I was so uncomfortable from dinner and exhausted (4th day drinking and socialising in a row)
i gave my husband the heads up I was looking to leave shortly. He kept asking me are you sure you want to go, oh I didn’t really want to leave yet, would you be annoyed if I dropped you home and came back? I told him I was feeling sick and not great. He said can I have one more drink and then got it anyway because I was too embarrased to say NO Infront of people. I really felt he took my kindness for weakness.

It was really awkward for me because you could tell I wanted to go for about 90 minutes I must of looked like I was fed up! It got to the point where 90 minutes later his friend asked him to go for a smoke and he said have I got time for a smoke and I lost my temper infront oc his family and said I’ve been waiting nearly 2 hours to leave. Then we left and had a blazing row on the way home. He said that I didn’t make it clear enough I wanted to leave and I never look serious? And he didn’t want to leave.
Am I in the wrong here?

Were you ill or not? It seems to change from post to post?

I'd guess she was hungover as she said she'd been drinking for 4 days in a row.

You have ignored the question about him DRINKING and SMOKING WEED and then driving. Are you for real? Your avoidance of this point suggests this is a normal and regular occurrence. I can't even begin to condemn you both enough.

At least they didn't drive without insurance. BlushBlushConfused

The cognitive dissonance...

Can you let us know when he's next on the road drunk stoned driving so we can all keep the fuck out of his way

Shameful

Yes. Thank you. My mum would not of stayed out partying without my dad if they WENT to a party TOGETHER, NYE or not. Also my dad would not of stayed without my mother. They would have left together, at a time they both felt was fair (eg not straight away, but not taking the pee) Maybe everyone’s been brought up differently.

Maybe everyone’s been brought up differently.

Yup we must have been brought up differently to you if your okay with your husband drink and drug driving....

Yes, I was definitely brought up to believe that drink driving is criminally stupid and selfish, and basically the behaviour of the scum of the earth. Similar for drug driving.

I don’t think he would have let me Spend New Year’s Eve unwell home alone. I’m sure most wives wouldn’t want to do this though, surely? He also said he didn’t want to have to explain where I was to everyone.

Why wouldn't you want him out if you were ill? What's he going to do, just stare at you all evening?

YABVU.

Why go out 4 nights in a row before new year? You set yourself up for that. No one wants to go home from a party at new year at 12.20am. You were being a killjoy because to failed to manage your own physical health and wellbeing on the lead up to the night.

In future learn to say no to things that will leave you a grumpy downer for important occasions. I'd be mad if I was your husband, you ruined his new year night with unnecessary drama.

That doesn't mean he wasn't entirely blameless of course. But 'no, we're leaving now' would have been more suitable than losing your rag when the friend asked him out for a smoke.

Have we yet established if OPs husband was drink driving or simply willing to be drug driving?
