Yeah, I think you over-reacted too. But with understandable cause from your past experiences with xH.
If it's not a pattern...let it go. Sure he should have called. Stuff like that gets away from you when you've had a few and like someone else said, he might not have wanted to look "whipped" in front of the guys.
As for "just having a few" I've heard that from my H when I know he's drunker than that would indicate. Maybe he hadn't eaten anything much before drinking? Is he on meds that might heighten the effect? (some antidepressants, pain meds, even meds for stomach acid can amplifiy the effects of alcohol!!!).
So take the wise advice above (must have been Ellie ) and learn from this one!
