Significant other got a dui after an argument what do I feel cappy?

[Anonymous]

So my significant other and I got into an agrugement. I was annoyed that he had been drinking and found 4 empty bottles of alcohol and one that was half full. He had rolled out of bed and hit the floor and his head 3 times. And couldn't really balance himself or walk right. We got I the car I took him up to the hospital for help he refused we got into another fight. Ultimately I called the cops cause got out of the car and was walking but had no right to be walking with how he was he did not want to go with the cops to get help. I asked if I take him home and he leave to go get more alcohol what do I do cause I know he's been drinking but don't know how much is left in his system. The cop said he could tell he was highly intoxicated when he spoke to my boyfriend and the cop said to give them all call ans they will watch for his car and if he looks to be driving weird they'll pull him over. We'll that I did I called him in for being behind the wheel drunk and driving. Thr cops pulled him over and arrested him for a dui and the public defenders office has asked for a jury pull. If this goes to court with a jury will I have to testify.. also what happens if i don't want to testify. Also i feel crappg cause I'm the one who called and got him put in jail.

Looked at your responses in the other comments. I'm not sure I really understand what you're looking for. I imagine you did the right thing by calling the cops on him, but it's ofc gonna feel crappy when you're actively doing something to him that he doesn't want, or which hurts him I some way, especially if you love him. It's gonna suck.

I guess you are petty and feel good about someone getting in trouble with the law.

I didn't do it out of being petty. I did call because I was not going to enable him with his addiction and first and for most his safety and the other people's safety. I lost a great friend to a drunk driver and wouldn't be able to live with myself and the guilt of anything happen to him or someone else. So how is that being petty? Even if we didn't get in a argument I still would have called. I'm just trying soe figure out why I feel guilty like it's my fault even though I was not the one driving I'm trying to see if others think I made the right decision.

See, you are playing the blame game by asking others to make you feel better by telling you it is his fault. You need to be there for him in his crucial time of need. It has nothing to do with who is right or wrong.

Entirely his fault.

[Asker]

I get that its his fault as he made the decision to drink and drive. I'm feeling guilty and like it's my fault cause I'm the one who called it in and got him arrested. But I lost a really great friend to drunk driving and wouldn't be able to live with myself and the guilt if something happen to him or someone else. I just don't get why I feel so crappy about making a good decision. I would've still called even if we weren't fighting about him drinking.

You did the right thing. He could have killed someone, a kid. Could you live with that?

[Asker]

No that's why I called but I'm sitting here feeling guilty about being the one who put the person they love in jail

[ImalwaysrightOK]

You saved him too. Maybe would have killed himself. If he's smart and cares for you, he'll realize his mistake and never do it again.
