Usually when we’re anywhere that there is alcohol the wife drinks
and I drive. Yesterday I drank and the wife drove. Basically we fought
(with kids in the back) because I was concerned with her shitty
driving. As she got angrier with me I got angrier with her (no A&A, no
fogging, no AM, just straight up sparring with one another). When she
hauled off and smacked me (didn’t hurt but offended the shit out of
me) I said stop the car and got out. Dark road, pretty much middle of
nowhere she calls my cell and says the kids are scared get back in the
car. I say not if she gonna keep being a cunt, I’ll just take an
Uber. She says you’re on speakerphone we’ll talk about it later,
get back in the car. I get back in the car. We make it 100ft and
we’re screaming at each other. I’m screaming like the flaming
faggot moron that I am. She says “you’re right, take an Uber”
and she pulls over. I get out and slam the door. Call an Uber. Get
home wife is trying to put kids to bed but they won’t sleep because
they’re worried about me because I got out of the car in the middle
of nowhere like a fucking retard. They’re happy to see me, wife goes
to bed in one kids room the other sleeps with me in master bedroom.
Not like wife and I wanted to sleep together anyway.

So - long story short, I know I fucked up, dropped frame, acted like a
BP fag and screamed at my wife in front of my kids. Question is, now
that I got up and went to work while everyone was still asleep, how do
I handle this going forward? Reset and act like nothing happened?
Demand an apology for wife hitting me?

Edit/Update: Thank you to everyone who commented, no doubt I needed
tough love. Despite knowing better, I texted my wife an apology.
Basically said I didn’t like the way I acted and I will stop
drinking. I also said neither her or our kids will never see that side
of me again. Her response was “okay thanks, we’ll discuss later
sorry I hit you”. I said “Forgiven, no need to discuss further
unless you need to”. We’ll see what happens when I get home.

I don’t care if it was the wrong move, I realized what a shit bag I
was and I had to apologize. I will also apologize to my kids tonight
in person. I will stop drinking, as I mentioned to a commenter below
this is not my first Wake Up Call about drinking, not by far...I have
to take responsibility for this or nothing else I work on in MRP will
mean a goddamn thing. I thought I was making progress, but this set me
back. I will not fucking quit. I won’t look at this like I failed.
Worst case scenario I’m back at Day 1 of RP having already read many
of the books and having started lifting 6 months ago. Maybe I can skip
the Rambo phase this time and without alcohol I can actually make
progress.

Cannot thank you assholes enough for slapping the shit out of me this
morning. Best day of my life.
