Here's a hypothetical scenario:

A husband and wife are at a dinner/drinking party at a bar with a room full of friends. The husband and wife are both drunk. The husband ends up slow dancing and making out with another woman in front of everyone at the party. Normally when there is music at this bar when the husband and wife are there the wife is unable to get the husband to dance with her at all. The wife left immediately once the making out happened. The next day the wife tells the husband what happened the night before. The husband claims he doesn't remember doing it or the woman he danced and made out with. When he talked to two of their friends (who were there and do not drink at all so they were 100% sober) later they tell him that the woman grabbed him when he came out of the bathroom and started the dancing and making out, which he later relays to his wife.

The questions are:

Who should be believed - the husband, the wife, or the friends?
What should happen between the couple?

Please reply.

My opinion only.
1.) The two sobers should be believed UNLESS they are partioal to one or the other (husband or wife)
2.) When the "making out" began, why didn't the wife excuse herself and step in and dance with her husband instead of walking out?
3.) Who was this woman in a room full of "friends"?
4.) What should happen to between the couple? Maybe they should consider a good, honest heart-to-heart talk about their current feelings for one another and their expectations for the future.....Tim

That seems like a many faceted deal. I don't know if I'm qualified to say who to believe a) not knowing anyone involved and b) not having witnessed all that transpired. Oh yeah and c) I'm probably not qualified anyhow, but who knows.

The wife can remember it happening so she wins? You say the husband "claims" to not remember it occuring, so I assume you're already sympathetic to the wife's position. Actually, being a guy who would never want to be caught dead in that (husband's) position, I also am initially sympathetic to the wife's position.

Sounds like a win-win scenario. The guy probably shouldn't drink, the wife could come along for the ride, both live happier more fruitful lives?

Probably not the answers you're looking for, but I try to be realistic.

I used to dance only when I was well lubricated with plenty of beer, but only with the girl I was with. I think I'm probably about as good at dancing as I am at answering your question.

Good luck with all that. Toby

I believe the husband (and probably the wife) need to look into some help for a drinking problem! Drinking to the point of blackouts is a sure sign.........
