Boyfriend extremely drunk tonight

Post Reply New Topic

I'm glad he was OK the next day. Just don't ever apologise for his behaviour Joe. My neighbour does that for her husband and it's really sad.

I'm just pissed off because he won't let me listen to an audiobook when I go to bed (if he hasn't gone to bed yet) because he says it'll wake them up upstairs even if I have it on quietly. I'm sure a quiet audiobook isn't going to disturb them and anyway it's nothing compared to the noise he was making the other night when drunk, slamming doors and knocking loudly on objects. That's enough to wake everyone up.

No, I can't use headphones in bed, because I like to lay on my side and they get in my way on the pillow. Earphones are the same, they make my ear lobe sore if I'm laying with earphones in. And I worry about the wire strangling me in my sleep. No, not an option.

Now because of his stupid paranoia about everyone hearing everything we do even if it's considerably quiet, I can't have my audiobooks that help me get to sleep. It's not like I'm planning on banging about or putting loud music on.

I've just PAID for online audiobooks as well. I only did because I can't find anything on useless YouTube. I'm pissed off now.

A quiet audiobook will not wake up the neighbors.

It’s comical how much of a hypocrite he is on this issue.

I would just put on the audiobooks….or try, somehow, to use headphones.

I wish you could get a larger bed.

Question, does he get drunk alone?

If you want to be overly polite, even if it might be mildly embarrassing, go and introduce yourself to the new neighbours and apologise for the loud night & explain that your boyfriend was celebrating (something.. make it up - his hatred of people? lol) and had a few too many drinks - more than he usually drinks - and was unfortunately a bit uncontrollably loud. Might be nice to assure them that this is not the norm for you and you Are a respectful neighbour and won't regularly be interrupting them and their little one. I know *I* would REALLY appreciate a friendly visit like that from a neighbour after an incident like this. It would assure me that I had normal neighbourly neighbours who simply had a loud night.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

I wouldn’t put your boyfriend in a bad light. There’s no purpose for that.

I would just apologize for the noise—if it is bought up.

It’s better to be basically communicative with your neighbors than to avoid them.

He went out and got drunk again tonight. It all started off with good, responsible intentions - he and a friend were attending an interview about a job that has come up and there's a good chance he'll get it because he's experienced and knows the employer's son, and so understandably they went for a few drinks after. But it turned into hours, and being so it was the day after my mum's ashes were buried I've been feeling a bit depressed and even had to have the afternoon off work. I wanted my boyfriend home with me really and it didn't help that he came in 7 hours after, so drunk that he couldn't stand up properly.
Like I said in another thread, I am easily triggered at the moment and him being drunk and lacking the empathy that he normally has for me, he said the wrong things that sent me into a rage. Well, I just switched the TV off and told him not to say what he said to me again then I just left the room. But when I came back in a bit later I noticed he had thrown everything off the table on to the floor - something he would never do otherwise. But he still didn't realise that he had did it. He was too drunk to understand anything.

This is why I don't like really drunk people and why I get baffled about how NTs find getting drunk so appealing. What's so great about it when it makes people do out of character things, like crazy or angry things? Don't NTs like everyone to be normal and predictable and easy to understand?

I'm really sorry this happened to you.

You have to stop this. You really do. Otherwise, this is going to happen more often. He's not getting consequences for his actions. And he's probably going to do worse things because he is not being stopped.

No excuse for getting drunk and acting like an idiot. None at all.

Throwing stuff off a table is ridiculous. Imagine if he threw something breakable off the table?

He's getting to be a destructive drunk.
