Even at our wedding, I begged her not to get wasted. But after the wedding, she spent more time with the sisters drinking in their hotel room than in the nice suite with her new husband. Just as I wanted to make love to my wife, she passed out drunk in my face breathing foulness. I know that the wedding night is all about the bride, but drat, I was hurt and have never really recovered fully.

Isn't this totally normal? I've read a ton of stories from married people who said "Oh, we didn't even have sex on our wedding night because we were too tired/drunk."

He's held a grudge about this totally normal thing for his entire marriage.

There's a vast difference in "we're too tired/drunk to gently caress on our wedding night" and "My wife is too drunk and tired to gently caress on our wedding night because she spent all night getting drunk and ignoring me"

I think it's more of the fact of him specifically asking her to not do something she always does on their wedding night (getting shitfaced) and doing it anyways

It sounds like hed be happy with her splitting her time 90% friends and 10% him but he can't even get that

Disregarding everything else about her, asking someone to not drink at their own wedding is ridiculous assuming they aren't pregnant. It's a celebration, bitches!

But she is an alcoholic and a terrible partner.

Is this a breakup worthy offense or am I overreacting?

quote:

For some background: both 25, been together 2.5 years, lived together a bit less than a year.
Tonight where I live we had violent thunderstorms. My boyfriend is at Friday Night Magic (the most popular night for Magic players, from what I understand). I get anxious during storms but I wanted him to have fun so I was happy he was going. However midway through the storm, we lost power and it smelled like something was fried. I tried to call him for help but he ignored my calls and just texted: "Call emergency maintenance." I did so, but the number went straight to voicemail.
I texted him again saying I couldn't get through and would it be alright if he came home since I was sitting in darkness, and he said he would if he lost two matches. For some perspective, a match usually takes 45 minutes, and I have no car and nothing is in walking distance to the apartment. I pleaded with him to come home. Then I tried calling him to ask for help, and it went straight to voicemail. He had turned his phone off. :(

I got really upset, so I called another friend asking for help. He talked me through checking a circuit breaker, and I managed to get power back on (as you can see).
I have the strong desire to break up with my boyfriend over this. I have seen his friends leave wives alone in the hospital to go play Magic, and I feel like that will be my eventual fate if I stay with him. And for the record, he played in events last Saturday and Sunday, and then went to a draft Tuesday as well so it's not like he doesn't have time for his hobby. I wish he had at least given me the courtesy of stepping outside to calm me down.

I would appreciate any outside perspective on the situation. Do you think this is something that is worth breaking up over?
tl;dr. Boyfriend blows me off for Magic the Gathering when power goes out in the apartment and I have no way to get anywhere. Is this a breakup worthy offense?

Responses are pretty evenly split between he's an rear end, and that she needs to grow up. I'm somewhere in the middle, she needs to grow the gently caress up especially if where they live is prone to storms (it is, she clarified that in the comments) and learn how to flip a circuit breaker.
He is also a bit of a doucher, but his girlfriend is a total baby.

I can actually see both sides of this argument

like from her perspective he's all like "NO madame I will NOT help you, for I am BUSY with my MONEY-SINK CARD GAME and that is FINAL, good DAY harrumph"

and from his perspective she's all like "aaaaa heeeellllp, thunder is scaaaary, and the liiiights, they went oooout and I don't know what to dooooo, I'm mad that you're not basing your life around my inability to cope with simple and common inconveeeeniencessssss boo hoo hoo"

Yeah she needs to learn about circuit breakers and poo poo, but now she knows for next time. What if it was just the breaker though, what if the whole neighborhood lost power or something and he is jsut like "nahh, children's card game". Dude has no sense of priorities and she needs to :sever:

If the whole neighborhood lost power, how can him coming home help? He could have been nicer in texts and all, but the procedure (in my head) for the power going out is:
Step 1. Wait for the power to come back

Like I'm breathing deep and ignoring that he's playing magic and assuming it's whatever else he could be doing on a friday night, like out with his friends or whatever.

An earnest and forthright explanation could probably solve this one, she needs to ask him to maybe be willing to sacrifice Magic Night under certain circumstances considering he does it like four nights a week and in exchange promise to try her best not to degenerate into a blubbering pile of goop when faced with something as terrifying as "weather"

Him coming home wouldn't have restored the power. Light a candle and read or go to bed if you lose power. She's a baby.

My dad lost power during our Christmas party last year. 50+ people, no power for hours. We all survived.

Like I'm assuming if there were an actual emergency that he could help with, then he would come home. I dunno, maybe I'm projecting, I briefly dated a girl who was utterly incapable of dealing with the day to day reality of the universe as it exists, she'd panic at everything and like....it's exhausting.

The whole story is pointless because who is right and who is wrong is a value judgement based on their personal dynamics.

Maybe she's one of those "how to adult???" folks who just never knows anything about anything despite being on this earth for 25 years. Those people are annoying and deservedly get brushed off sometimes. Maybe she's constantly hounding him for dumb poo poo she should be able to handle herself and he didn't want to deal with it right then.

Or maybe this is just a fluke, she's normally a responsible adult, and he's an overgrown manchild. Maybe he's never lending a helping hand and always just way too engrossed in a stupid card game while also spending 100% of his/their disposable income on it.

That info isn't in the story and frankly wouldn't be reliable without coming from a 3rd party anyway.

Pretty much my perspective. I mean maybe he's spending too much time/money on his hobby, which is potentially a legit relationship issue, but he was also at a pre-arranged event where a) he'd made a time commitment of several hours and b) he was doing something that wasn't terribly conducive to being on the phone. In this case it was Magic: the Gathering, but there are lots of other hobbies and events that have similar time commitments and practical restrictions on phone access. Expecting him to drop everything for a non-emergency that he would either be completely unable to resolve or that she should have trivially been able to resolve on her own isn't really a reasonable expectation and is predicated on the assumption that his time/money/hobby is less important than being immediately available to assuage her anxiety over a minor inconvenience. I mean at worst she'd be unable to cook something for dinner, so just order takeout or text him and ask him to pick up something on his way back.
