Have to vent
So...does it bother anyone else when your friends and husband drink around you? Our friends come by, bring beer or wine or whatever and hang out and drink and it REALLY aggravates me! I feel sooo left out. I've tried to explain it to my husband but he doesn't get it! I know I'm being really selfish if I cant drink I don't want him to either! I know thats not fair to him...but geez its no fun to be the only sober one!
Quick addition...I think I'd probably feel differently if we'd planned it then I know what I was going to have to so. But it was an unexpected surprise!

Re: Have to vent
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

No, this doesn't bother me. I chose to become pregnant knowing that giving up booze for 9 months was part of the deal. I would be horrified if people felt like they had to abstain around me.
No... it doesn't bother me at all. As a matter of fact, we had wine and champagne at my baby shower yesterday. Just because I can't drink doesn't mean that my friends and family can't drink.
Get used to your husband being able to do things you can't do. Right now I am SOOOO jealous that my husband can sleep through the night. I also get jealous that he can go for a run (I am on pelvic rest), wear a wide variety of clothing, and cold cut sandwiches and a dozen other prohibited foods.
It is what it is. If you start policing drinking around friends you will alienate them very quickly. Chill out.
I just scrolled through the responses and most people said "no".
That's what bugs me lately (I'm a little irritable theses days) - I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's nice to vent and find that people understand.
I know what you are saying because up until now my husband and I used to often have wine/beer and food with friends on the weekends and now we have had to adjust. ?It's not only the lifestyle change - it's the way my body is taking total control of my ability to have a social life - always tired/sometimes nauseous. ?It's a big change.
The other day it was hot and my husband picked me up some non-alcoholic German beer. ?I had one nice cold one and haven't really thought about it since.?
I'm sure you'll figure it out!?
If I was a drinker and my hubby drank around me, then, yes I'd totally be annoyed. ?
That being said, my hubby doesn't drink at all, and I am a diabetic, so alcohol usually messes with my numbers, so I avoid it at all costs.
Nah, unless he's getting drunk. We were out with friends in the pool last night and two of the women were pregnant, so we didn't drink and the third wife joined us in not drinking, while the men downed a bottle of scotch. I was sad I couldn't sample it, as they all talked about what a great scotch it was, but that's life.
We all get annoyed by random things, no biggie.

Oh, I want to say that's there's a big difference between missing wine or whatever (and I **totally** do--I was a daily wine with dinner person) and being pissed off at other people for drinking (which is what the OP is talking about).
Then stop having people over for a bit. You are allowed to take a break every now and again.
