Apart from being eternally tied to your partner, one of the greatest aspects of being married is, of course, the honeymoon, which comes after all the planning and preparation for the wedding. Arranging the honeymoon is one of the most fun aspects of being married.

Finding the ideal honeymoon period can be challenging, though, because there are so many other components of the wedding to consider. Normally, after the wedding, couples typically take a trip together to experience new places and each other's companionship.

Honeymoons are more than simply photo-perfect trips, whether you go to Greece, Italy, Mexico, or another equally enchanted location. They provide you and your partner with a priceless chance to spend quality time together, reminiscing about your special day and planning your future.

But this wasn't the OP's case, as her husband turned their honeymoon into a nightmare. Her husband's drinking problem has been over the top, and the OP thinks she has hit her breaking point.

They chose Europe as the honeymoon spot, and the OP doesn’t want to leave their new marriage, but she's not sure what to do with the rest of their honeymoon. Her husband was a binge drinker.

He doesn’t drink weekly, but when he does, there is never just one drink; it’s a full-blown binge session that will last all night until sunrise. He has been sober for nine months but seemed to have gone back to alcohol fully, so now the OP needs advice.

And here is the headline

OP's husband went out by himself in the night and came back in the wee hours of the morning absolutely drunk

His mood has changed significantly when drinking as he has gotten more angry, jealous, and mean when drunk

Redditors trooped to the comments section to air their opinions and we've gathered some of the most upvoted ones for you below

The OP should just book a flight back home and annul the whole marriage

The OP should get out of the marriage now before it ruins her life

This Redditor has had enough abusive alcoholics in their life already

The issue won't be resolved in the nine days remaining for the honeymoon

This Redditor is letting the OP know that she can't control what others do, only what she's willing to accept

The OP should see an attorney to proceed with the marriage annulment when she gets back home

It's only a matter of time before he started being abusive while sober

This Redditor has a similar story to share and here it is

Many Redditors believe that the OP has already normalized his behavior after describing a horrifying scenario of drunken abuse. Clearly, the abuse is getting worse, and he is growing more unbearable.

As long as the OP keeps tolerating it, it will get worse, and the only way anything can possibly change is if he makes the decision to give up alcohol completely. But is that going to happen? We hope so.
