Understanding the Female Response to Your Coming in Drunk at 4 AM
November 5, 2005 by NML
Picture this: Your partner has got into bed, let’s say just after midnight and has been asleep for a few hours. You’ve told her not to expect you until late so she isn’t waiting up for you worried sick and is in sweet blissful sleep. You enter the house noisily, stumble through the house knocking over things, go for a wee loudly, belch, fart, and then creep (I use this term loosely) into the bedroom, climb into bed and wrap your arms around her. The drink has made you feel a bit horny so you’re hoping that the hard on in her back will alert her. You’re fidgeting in the bed as you try to get her attention. You won’t rest till you get some attention.
Of course she’s going to be annoyed with you. It’s one thing if you both came in at the same time or she’s awake and waiting for you, but waking her up with a hard on and the reek of stale booze, possibly cigarette smoke and a kebab, is the female equivalent of losing an erection that she didn’t have in the first place..because she was asleep!
Women are not instantly horny and we need our sleep so that we can cope with you during daylight hours.
Now imagine if you throw any of these scenario’s into the equation:
- You didn’t tell her you were going out in the first place- You did tell her you were going out, but told her you’d be home by 12 and didn’t phone to say where you were- She knows you end up in strip clubs- She’s been pacing the house wondering where your drunk ass is and has dialled the police a couple of times but hung up because she feels silly.- You have children that she either has to get up early for or has already got up in the night for - She suspects that you are cheating- You go out all of the time- She isn’t expecting you because you don’t live together
These are just some of the things that can impact on her reaction, but at the heart of her reaction is whether you have been considerate of her feelings whether that is with regard to how you made your plans, the time you said you’d be back, or things that she may have to do tomorrow.
We are not wicked witches and we get drunk and have fun too, but we would like you to show some consideration. I can guarantee that if you had a big presentation for work, you wouldn’t want your partner rolling in drunk and breaking your sleep.
Make sure that you’ve been truthful with her prior to the night out and have not caused her any unnecessary worry, because truly caring about someone and loving them means that you can’t behave like Mr Bachelor and you have to consider their feelings.
