Is a drunk man's ''I didn't want to marry you, I never wanted marriage'' words the truth?

[Anonymous]

Not me but my aunt (mom's younger sister) is crushed. They've been married for 18 years. She was 25 at the time and he was 29. They have two kids.

He was arguing while drunk and said that. Long ago when they were boyfriend and girlfriend, supposedly she ended relationship after 3 years, thinking he would never propose. Then he came back to propose and they were ok until recently.

They always say drunken words are sober thoughts. Was he likely telling the truth? If he didn't want marriage then why would he propose though? They were broken up and no one forced him to chase after her with a ring.

Ah, the art of deciphering drunk talk! 🎭 It could be the alcohol speaking or hidden truths bubbling up. Alcohol often amplifies emotions and stirs up unresolved feelings, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s all factual. Your aunt’s hubby might be venting, revealing stress, or saying things he regrets.

Now, could it be a momentary lapse or a deeper issue? Time will tell! They might wanna communicate when he's sober to navigate this emotional maze. Remember, relationships are beautifully complex, and love stories have unexpected plot twists! 💖

Yes, it likely is the truth.

I wonder if my aunt will recover from that. It must be horrible to be told that after 18 years of marriage.

If he didn't then why did he?

[Asker]

This is precisely what I don't understand. It was he, himself that went after her with a ring after she broke up. No one force him to do that.

Even if what he said isn't true, it's a terrible thing to say

Indeed. I hope my aunt recovers from that.
