Based on your description of his condition, he clearly would have no memory of his actions. So who knows, he may have thought it was you, we will never know.

IMO, the big problem wasn't the fact he may have asked your friend for a kiss, it is clearly that he doesn't know how to handle his liquor, that would be my concern. Perhaps it might be best if he didn't drink at all.

Most can handle a drink but every now and then ( especially a special occasion ) things can get out of hand and enjoy ourselves TOO much....

He will probably realise and feel a right tit and be more moderate and considerate next time

I'm sure once he sees her reaction or heard what he's done that will be the driving force behind him not getting THAT plastered again

End of story

Alcohol makes people do stupid things.

Drunks don't make a happy family life. Both of you need to get a grip. There's more at stake than a drunken pass.

Your husband has a problem with alcohol.

He is doing NOTHING new. You married a man who blacks out. He can't handle himself if he drinks too much.

Counseling is required. The problem isn't him trying to kiss your friend at this point (you could bring this up in counseling, but honestly, he's got other issues as well). It's him not being able to handle alcohol without going overboard. If you don't stop this now it will escalate.

He needs to clean up his act or this isn't going to work for you guys. You need to be firm. If you have any alcohol/drug issues, make sure you are owning that as well.

The kids involved are going to make this even harder...

Edit: sad to see all the people saying to let this go. Blacking out isn't normal or acceptable, especially when you have a wife and kids. OP's husband has blacked out more than once. As far as she knows, he hasn't done anything.

I'm not saying up and divorce, but this is a huge cause for concern. You guys are young, but you gave away your "act like kids" privilege when you got married and had babies. This behavior really needs to stop.

Learn from this and do not take him drinking anymore. He obviously can't handle more than a couple drinks without acting a fool.

This didn't sound like he knew whom he was asking to kiss him. He may have thought it was you. He may have had no idea that he was married, or had kids, or what his name was, or what planet he was from.

He does not have a cheating problem.

He has a drinking problem.

I would keep him as far away from alcohol as possible. He has some bad tendencies when it comes to drinking, and this may end up really bad.

I think ya'll have a lesson to learn from this....

going out drinking with a 3rd person is not a good way to celebrate your anniversary.

I would ignore this and learn to never do this again....

it's ok to drink, but not ok to start with shots....

Next time, take your time, sit and talk, enjoy each other's company....maybe eat something first, and the idea is to not get falling down drunk.

You have kids? Ugh.

Time to grow up, both of you.
