Q: Am I in the wrong?

I am due in 2 days and last night my OH came home at 11pm pissed as anything, swaying in the kitchen. He then went straight to bed as passed out. Well this morning I asked him what would of happened if I went into labour as to be honest i wouldn't of wanted him there. All he could say was "Well you didn't" and that I didn't want him to have any friends.

He then told me that not to bother calling him if that's how I felt about him being involved as he stormed of to work.

I'm now sat here crying and don't know what to do with myself.

I have to agree with other ladies u were right.but i would mt even stress about it as its done now and its the last thing u need.my husband tried them lines with me that i did nt want him to have any friends before our first but he realised that he was in compleatly different place to his friend.he friends were into partyin no kids and girlfriends that did the same.my husband gave up drink about 2 months before we had our first and has drank about 4 times in 3 years(along with me)trust me his attitude will do a u turn as soon as ure baby is born.make up and dont stress because u dont want to ruin ure baby s birth.tell him to grow up and get over himself and enjoy the nex couple of weeks..wish u the very very best..

Totally not in the wrong whatsoever. Heck, I think the majority of men would take your side as well. Judging by the "having any friends" comment it sounds like he's somehow gotten the impression that you don't want him to have a social life. Sounds like he's got some things to discuss with you if that's what he really believes. Or dude just felt like being selfish and getting drunk and didn't really care what you thought. In any event, some men can be so stupid sometimes and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt by assuming he really didn't think you were going into to labor anytime soon. Still not very supportive of him but and down right mean but hopefully it was just a bad day or bad moment and one that he won't be repeating anytime soon.

Defo not in the wrong, he's in the wrong big time! If it was my partner I would not b one bit happy, he like you should be on tender hooks waiting for the big moment your baby is going to make an appearance. What would he have done if you hadve went into labour and he was pissed, for one he couldn't drive you to hospital and two he would not have been allowed into delivery suite with you in that state and stinking of alcohol.

I would wait til he calms down later, ask him what's wrong and sort things out, maybe he's scared about new arrival and it's now hit him and this is his way of coping.

Good luck x

No, you are not in the wrong. You need the reassurance that when the time comes, he will be there for you to look after you and make sure your needs are met. Is this your first child? - if so, maybe he is getting a little scared and this is his way of dealing with it? He needs to be on red alert now and at the end of a phone for when you need him. Let him clam down a bit as he probably didn't appreciate being "nagged" with a hangover lol. Just have a friendly chat about this once you have both calmed down. Sounds like you need to discuss both of your fears and feelings.....don't worry, you will be ok, I am sure :) Good luck x
