Wives... were you glad pubs weren't open today

mockingjay · 15-04-2017 02:08AM #1

I have to say I was, hubbie often scuttles off to the pub after work on Fridays & is sick on Saturday, but he was off today, came for a walk & a coffee with me, spent time with the kids, joined us for a movie, it was so nice. He misses so much family time at the weekends as he goes out on a Saturday night too, I don't go out because the early morning football runs kill me, I need my sleep, he comes too, but often hungover, I can't do that... and to think he'll be up tomorrow morning to help out will be fantastic.... I loved it... I don't allow him to come into our bed at the weekend because of the snoring & smell of alcohol but it will be so nice to wake up warm tomorrow with no smell of beer!!! I might even get a cuddle:))

Put the foot down, why should he be out enjoying himself and your stuck having to keep the kids entertained over the weekend

Tbh sounds like he has a problem. I enjoy my few beers as do my mates but family does not take second place.

Serenity now.

uch · 15-04-2017 02:31AM

Sure an ould Ride wouldn't kill him either seeing as your in such a good mood

endacl · 15-04-2017 02:32AM

Two questions, OP....

1. How did you manage to post from the 1970s?
2. No. That's it. How did you post here from decades ago?!?

buried · 15-04-2017 02:34AM

I'm a single man and I wouldn't go next or near the pubs at the weekends, its just too grim. Sounds like you all had a good day today though, ye should organise trips out the weekends of the summer, there are great walks and trails all over the country, the kids will love it and so willl your husband by the sounds of it. Take control with a dose of honey like today. Don't try to take control with prohibition vinegar.

3/10.

Of course it begs the question, why didn't you have the tinnies stocked up?

whoopsadoodles · 15-04-2017 02:57AM

I was all set to defend your husband when I opened the thread but that's actually pretty sh*t.

Are you the poster who couldn't afford to go your work Christmas party because you didn't have €100 to spare? How does your husband afford to go out every Friday and Saturday night and you can't even go out to a once off party?

GoneHome · 15-04-2017 02:58AM

Ah this is not right for either you or him, as a friend of mine says "he needs to have a chat with himself", it just shows what a good day both of you and the kids had today when there was no alcohol involved, that's the way it should be every weekend not just as a treat cause the pubs weren't open.

uch · 15-04-2017 03:08AM

See post #8

Surreptitious · 15-04-2017 03:18AM

He sounds like a fcking nightmare. You should be getting cuddles anyway don't mind wishing for the odd one. Funt up the hole into tomorrow will sort him out, choosing pubs over his family.

oneilla · 15-04-2017 03:21AM

Husband sounds like an arse, going out drinking without you and them being useless of a Saturday. I'm happy you had a good day but doesn't sound like you averaged weekend is much fun

That sounds like a blissful marraige...

On a serious note that reads as a very sad post. Heavy drinking in households has an effect on the children as they grow into adults. Be aware of it. I have first hand experience of this.

I would recommend the book "Adult Children of Alcoholics". Its an eye opener.

Your husband sounds like a selfish arse

I love how everyone is so quick to judge the husband without knowing any real facts. Maybe he breaks his bollox doing a 50-60hrs week job he hates, trying to provide for said family and is more than entitled to destress and enjoy himself over the weekend as he feels. Maybe it's the only time he sees his friends.

Maybe the OP drops the kids off to school each day and sits at home catching up on her soaps.. maybe even having a glass of wine or two having a bit of me time.. or perhaps out shopping or having lunch with her friends.

Nobody knows.

...And maybe this thread is a fictional troll!

Well a very quick look over her previous posts says she leaves at 6.50am every morning to go to work in her full time job.

And that it's highly unlikely from her posting history, that she's a troll.

She also didn't give out about her husband at all just said it was nice to have him home.

Fighting Tao · 15-04-2017 07:46AM

Not all families are husband-wife and this story is very one sided.

On a side note if this is a personal issue as some seem to think so then it would have been posted in the personal issues forum.

Winterlong · 15-04-2017 07:53AM

That is a sorry state of affairs OP. He is a dad and a husband. That should come before his drinking.
Fair play to you for keeping the family unit going.

Game Face MCGee · 15-04-2017 08:02AM

I feel bad for the op, her husband sounds like a selfish prick!!

If you regularly get hangovers you're an alcoholic.

Clearly the solution here is to keep drinking to avoid it so?

Pinch Flat · 15-04-2017 09:12AM

Sounds like alcohol is more important to him than his wife and family. Have you thought about having a chat about the impact that his drinking is having on your family? I love a few beers, but if it's keeping me in bed for most of the weekend recovering and preventing me from oartuaking in the family I'd probably do something about it.

By family you mean your bike? Right?

Malari · 15-04-2017 09:33AM

Insulting subject line. She's assuming just because her husband treats her badly that most other wives are in this situation too?:rolleyes:

NoviGlitzko · 15-04-2017 09:35AM

Will some people relax and be not so quick to judge. 'Your husbands an ass', 'your husbands an alcoholic'. We know **** all about these people and their marriage.

I can imagine the OP coming back to read the comments here and feeling miserable going through them when she was seemingly in a good mood.

Wives... were you glad pubs weren't open today
