Woman Unsure Whether to ‘Dump’ Her Boyfriend After Getting Late-Night Call About His Drinking

NEED TO KNOW

• A woman says her boyfriend got so drunk that she had to pick him up from a bar after receiving a concerned call from one of his colleagues

• She said he then proceeded to make lewd comments and ruined a portion of her living room

• The woman shared her story on a community forum and asked others if they thought the incident should be a relationship deal breaker

A woman says she’s considering breaking up with her boyfriend after he drank so much that he was “barely making any sense.”

She shared her story on a forum on Mumsnet.com, a U.K.-based community site where women can go to seek advice from other women on a variety of topics. In her post, titled “Am I being unreasonable to dump my partner after what happened last night?”, the woman said that she received a call from her boyfriend’s number at about 10 p.m. the previous evening.

She went on to say that when she picked up the call, she didn’t hear her boyfriend’s voice on the other end of the line.

“It was [one of his colleagues], who told me I’d need to come and pick him up because taxis were refusing to take him because he was covered in vomit,” she explained.

“I went to get him, [and] he had to be helped into my car by two colleagues propping him up. He was smashed, had been drinking since 2 p.m. on an empty stomach and was an absolute mess,” she continued.

The original poster (OP) said her boyfriend was “barely making any sense” on the ride home and made several lewd remarks. She brought him back to her place and made up a bed for him on the sofa, but two hours later she heard a “loud crashing” and found he had broken her coffee table and urinated in a corner of her living room.

“He has finally sobered up this afternoon and claims he was spiked and is going to make a report to the police,” she continued.

“I am 99% sure that didn’t happen, but does anyone think there’s any chance that’s true? I’ve never known him to get that drunk,” she said at the end of her post — while also admitting that “there have been some minor flags around [his] drinking in the past.”

Reactions were mixed over whether or not the OP was being unreasonable.

“No way would I end an otherwise happy [relationship] because my partner had too much to drink as a one off. What an overreaction,” one person said.

Another person said the boyfriend’s behavior would be a personal dealbreaker for her.

“I’m usually quite understanding about someone having a few too many and being a bit silly, but his revolting behavior,” they said, adding, “Absolutely no way back for me after that.”

Someone else said they thought the decision should come down to whether or not the incident was a singular event or part of a larger pattern.

“If he’s usually a wonderful, caring, fantastic partner and never given you a moment of hurt then I’d forgive. If it’s the latest in a string of selfish behaviors, I’d dump,” they said.
