Hey all;
I am new here. But I have a dilemma.
I have been married for 20 years, mostly happy. My partner is a binge drinker. Last few years, this has improved. Until last night.
We went to my friends house for dinner. My partner does not know them well. We had agreed between us to leave early because I am exhausted from a stressful week. My husband wanted to go home early too he said.
The dinner was delicious and we had a nice time. After the dishes were cleared, my friends husband announced he was walking to the neighborhood bar to drink and sing karaoke. He did not invite anyone to go or even suggest. My husband spoke up and said he wanted to go and would take a cab home to our place ( a $50 cab ride). I felt angry because we were going to leave early. But I said nothing and my husband did go. I drove home alone. My husband came home after 2 AM very drunk. Today he is too hungover to do anything. I am angry and hurt because I feel ditched by him last night.
Am I overreacting? I told him how I felt this morning and he thinks he did nothing wrong and is now mad at me. I feel guilty but also I feel angry. Especially when he has been saying we are low on money and can't spend any. And, he got so drunk with someone he doesn't even know.
