My guy and I just recently went to an outdoor concert. We were having a great time as we always do. We were kissing and hugging. I was drinking wine samples and was feeling good. By the end of the night as we were leaving it hit me -I blacked out from drinking. I remember being in my bed with my house key on my night stand and my front door dead bolt not locked. I woke up in fear because I had done this to my guy in private a few other times and I knew he would not tolerate me in public like I was(being drunk). I don’t know because he would not return my phone calls that next day. I texted him that I left my bag in his vehicle behind the seat and I needed it. I get a text that it’s at my front door. I replied that he must be upset with me since he didn’t stop for a kiss and that if he doesn’t want to see me anymore just please tell me. I will understand after me not remembering our exiting the event,I’m actually mad at myself and hate it. It’s not how I wanted the night to end and I have no excuse and that I did enjoy the day and I do mean what I said in the birthday card I gave him. He left clothes at my house and I mentioned he could have gotten them. So he texted later while he was at work that if schedules allow maybe swing by and get clothes. Next day he texted running out of time catch up at a later date, Thanks. I did not reply back. 2 days later I receive another text this time in an app we use saying Good morning another work day behind him if schedules allow maybe we can chat Friday the 24th? I replied good morning, I’d like that, I get off in the afternoon . Then I texted how one of his favorite teams is playing on Saturday and that I’m sure he’ll be watching. He replied sounds good- until Friday. Safe journey. Of course I told him about my fitness and how I took his advice and I hope that he got rest and deserved a break. And I said until Friday, thank you. Bottom line is I don’t know how I should respond when I see him tomorrow– any suggestions? I want to just hug him and kiss him and say I’m sorry in person and hope he forgives me and we can move past this. He has told me he loves me, but of late more distance and less phone calls have occurred. When we are together we are affectionate with each other and have a blast together.
talladyYou have been blackout drunk around him before?
teteIn private…and he says not good.
teteHe has said I get mean.
teteSo I can only speculate what happened when we exited the event and the drive home. I do recall one instance and I was actually very loving and saying like,”honew do you think of me ,I mean like a lot, I think of you all the time” and we were arm in arm and he said yes he thinks of me. I can only assume I rambled on. Maybe part of the problem that I spill my guts out,don’t know.
teteIt’s not like I drink every day. This is something new that my body is doing now. I think I’m fiNE and boom! I’m actually concerned enough that I’m going to quit,or at least say no more than 2 glasses of wine when I do drink.
RoseOK sweetie, you have to understand that being around a drunk person that passes out is really, really not fun. I’ve been around ladies and men that have that problem and I do not want to hang out with them ever. In private is annoying but in public is embarrassing. The best you can do now is either quit drinking or as you say don’t go past two drinks. Give him time and see what happens, do apologize for whatever happened when you were drunk and say you will not drink around him anymore, might work.
redcurleysueDon’t drink at all….you have a small habit of going beyond your limit and you do not want it to turn into a bigger habit.
Just stop drinking.
joanSay sorry and tell him you have decided you have to stop at two glasses or give up. I don’t think you understand you are binge drinking and your body is becoming more sensitive to alcohol because of this. You can swallow your own vomit while passed out cold and next morning he may be waking a dead body – it’s not recommended. Be proud of knowing you have a small problem and stop it right now – good luck, it easy when the problem is small. It will be hard for a little while but you will live a long, happy life and have no regrets from any problems caused by behaviour you can’t remember. That’s very scary – be safe and happy you have a man that loves you so much
talladyTete, men don’t like sloppy drunk messes, ever. Even when they are nice. Or when out in public. It is cute, barely, if it happens once a year. And black out is still very extreme. You seem unable to control your consumption. You may need more help.
teteThanks for your replies. I can say I’m sorry and he loves me but his lack of not talking and we need to chat makes me certain he is leaving me and I’m not sure if I can change his mind. He has said ithat was his fear I’d do in public and he would not tolerate it. So this is where saying sorry and forgive this time and won’t do it again may not be enough.
talladyI am sorry tete. But he made his perspective clear prior to this happening. Honestly, you should have heeded the warning. You mat need to go into recovery, because it is one thing yo have one incident. It is another to have several and a warning, and then not to change your behavior or be able to control it. I would wait and then see what happens.
talladyYour behavior indicates you do not understand consequences.
talladyOnly you can deacide and learn if being drunk is more important than your relationship.
teteI understand consequences. I trusted himand took advantage of that comfort. Also I didn’t realize I was like I was.
talladyTete, you really need to think here. He has warned you several times, so you know what you are like. This has not only happened once. I really believe you should consider not drinking at all.
talladyI really hope he stays with you, but that is somewhat irrelevant. The drinking is the issue.
lrDude just cut back on drinking. I used to black out around my boyfriend and I know I was annoying but he didn’t seem to care. so he just told me not to have more than 5 drinks and I was fine. but I don’t believe you can hold what drunk people say or do against them. at least not all the time.
teteI sent a letter via email stating my intentions. I have said sorry via text even though I don’t know what I said or did.
Lady THi Tete,
If you’ve already sent a letter telling him you’ll quit with the drinking and a text saying sorry, I would drop it and not bring it up when you see him again. Rehashing things won’t help. You need to try to move past this.
Try to make it a fresh start. When you see him, talk about other things and try to have a nice time together with the blackout incident behind you. BUT! Going forward, no drinking like that anymore. You’ll have to prove to him in time with your actions that you ARE going to stop it. And DON’T keep bringing up the incident. He knows you’re sorry and you’ve said you’ll change. That’s good enough for now, imo. Don’t beat yourself up too much either. I’ve done the blackout drunk thing before. While it is wildly unattractive, it could be way worse. You just have to stop! Take care. xo
Dee86You need to stop drinking.
Only stick to one or two drinks and drink lots of water when you do drink.
If he cares about you he will let it go and move on..
My boyfriend has only blacked out twice. I’m not going to leave him for it but it is annoying and hard work. I’m sure if he had constant black outs i wouldn’t like it or appreciate it at all.
I blacked out once with my boyfriend and I have never passed three drinks again.
Nothing bad happened but he clearly stated he didn’t like it and wouldn’t want to see it again.
Point is no one likes it. Be responsible about your drinking.
Lady TUnless he brings it up, of course…
Gemini615You’ve already sent an apology text and email. That is enough. STOP apologizing. Apologizing to a guy over and over does more harm than good; you are making him relive what happened every time you bring it up instead of giving him his space to get over it.
When you meet, you need to let him be the one to bring this up, if it’s something he wants to talk about. Unfortunately, you have crossed a line since he already was clear about his boundaries with the drinking. If there are consequences that become of that, so be it. That is what happens when you make poor choices in life.
Hopefully this is a wake up call for you and a learning lesson. There is a difference between having fun and being irresponsible. There is such a thing as drinking without getting black out drunk. It seems you haven’t mastered that, so I advise you to abstain from drinking all together.
I sincerely hope your relationship is not jeopardized because of this. Hopefully he will be understanding and you will be able to move past it. The best way to show your sorry is not by apologizing, but instead by NEVER repeating this behavior again. Your words will mean nothing to him; your actions will. Good luck.
teteThank you! The letter was about my plan to change
it was not an apology, moreover about what I will do to change and be an encouragement to my son.tallladyYou have a child? All thr more reason to get sober. Men do look to see if you cam nurture. The reality is someone who drinks this much will be suspect on that attribute….
