Is my boyfriends behavior acceptable?!?
So my boyfriend and I just moved to a new area where we have no friends or family, so we could afford a better life for our baby. We moved across country when I was a few months pregnant and both got jobs at the same hotel. While I was pregnant he started going out all the time and coming home drunk at least twice a week. I love to party but since I was pregnant and have no friends I couldn’t, but didn’t want to be the wet towel to rain on his parade so I let him do it until it got out of hand and I told him to stop. Well now our baby is 3 months old and he is right back on track, coming home drunk like every other night. Ive been getting mad because he drives home drunk, so his solution is to call me to pick him up in the middle of the night. Ive been saying yes he can go out when he asks & even let his friend stay here when they were too drunk. I quit my job after the baby was born to stay home so I feel like I should let him have his outlet of hanging out after working. He just got promoted and tonight asked if he could ‘hang out for a while with his friends’ to which after I said yes he followed with ‘they are holding my keys until you pick me up’. Of course I would call an Uber because I’m not waking my baby at 2 in the morning. But then he calls me to ‘ask’ if he can stay the night at his friends’ house to drop acid. I was pretty pissed eating dinner alone yet again, but now I’m thinking this is just ridiculous. I mean is it okay for him to be acting like this with a new baby? Even though I’m not working I feel like I never get a break and he is taking his ‘breaks’ too far. I hate to be THAT girlfriend who ruins the fun but now I feel like enough is enough. I feel like I’ve been pretty cool about it, letting him go out all the time, right? Has he been walking all over me or is it normal for new dads to still party? Maybe I’m just jealous because I can’t party now? I don’t know.
