It baffles me that so many people are happy to get into relationships with people with that sort of attitude to alcohol never mind the side effects of their idiotic drinking habits.

I saw beyond his 'idiotic drinking habits' and saw a decent, kind caring person

I wouldn't tolerate the idiotic drunk act myself.

My DH once was so drunk he thought the spare room was the loo in the night and peed on the bed in there.

The next morning I woke him up about 7am with the hoover in the bedroom as shouting wasnt working so I figured he wouldnt be able to sleep with a hoover going lol. Told him to get up , clean it up, wash all the sheets and do some other jobs around the house. I was so angry. Hes never done that again!

I did come home to some flowers the next day.

There is no way Id even think of living with someone who did that type of thing on a regular basis.

My ex used to do this occasionally, after a heavy session.

Interesting how many posts spoke of - ex - who had wet the bed.
Rarely does a problem drinker/alcoholic manage to stay sober. I was married to an alcoholic - won't bore you with what he got up to. I should have thrown him out years before I did.
He killed himself by drinking.

I did and although admittedly there were times i almost walked away i'm very very glad i didn't.
As i posted earlier i made it clear to him that i would not tolerate that kind of behaviour when we had children and the one time he did it (not long after we had our son) i told him in no uncertain terms that he could never do it again.
He didn't, and here we are nearly 17 yrs and 3 kids later, extremely happy, content and he is the best husband and father i could ever hope to have for my children.

People deserve a chance to change.

My ex brother-in-law used to get so drunk he'd wet the bed regularly and when he did'nt wet the bed he'd sleep walk and wee in the wardrobe or in drawers.
Strangely enough it was always my sister-in-laws stuff he'd wee on and never his own.
He'd never admit to being an alcoholic though even when he collapsed through liver failure.

"he's mentioned it at work, like it was some kind of hilarious joke..."

Someone who discloses deeply personal information like that and treats it like a joke does not sound like the sort of man who has acknowledged how truly shameful and frightening that behaviour is. I hope you're right that he's on the road to becoming a reformed character, I really do

Amongst our group of friends when were young 'damping down' as it was called was seen as a huge joke, mainly i think as humour is something a lot of people use to hide shame or embarassment, ie laugh at yourself before someone else does.
