So I've been out with 2 mates and the gf tonight.

Me and one other mate are driving, I picked the missus up, my mate picked other mate up and we all met.

We've all had a good night, one place had a load of bands in, to which we've been rocking out all night to, been brilliant.

Now it was 12.30, gf is drunk, mate is drunk and me and the other driver are sober.

It's been a long old week and if I'm honest, I'm very tired and wasn't up for an allnighter, but the gf was, so I said to her "can we go after this one?"

she said she wanted to stay out and said "don't worry, I'll take a taxi"

Now, I might be being overprotective, but I don't want her looking for a taxi whilst drunk on her own in Chelmsford.

Fortunately my mate piped up and he said he'd drop her off for me, to which I thanked him, said goodbyes and left, also asked gf to txt me when she got in, just for my own reasurance, she said she would.

But now I'm fully awake, I feel a bit bad as I've left my gf on a night out, regardless of the fact shes very good friends with my mates that shes with, I've dumped the reponsibility of getting her home to the other driver, and making sure shes ok to the only sober one.

Oh, ALAS - OcUk, cheer me up :( I won't be able to sleep until she txt's me anyway lol, kinda stupid of me leaving t.bh

So what? It'll be fine. I've been the only sober one loads of times, everyone gets home fine.

I know your right, just a kinda gut worry about her getting home.

I'm a concerned other half :p
 
" I feel really bad for doing this friend #1! "

" Ahh dont worry he was the miserable one that went home "

" Oh ok, put it back in "
 
I wish my misses was like that... If I just buggered off like that.... even if she did say its fine, I would so get the cold shoulder... good luck mate :)

You could always go back and pick her up as you are sober ?

Yeah, if you're worried about her getting home, you should have offered to pick her up. I used to ask my ex to pick me up after I'd been out without him, because I knew he'd still be up and I'd definately get home safely.
 
I think the OP's post is rather sweet. They aren't going over the top about it, they're just concerned about not seeing their girlfriend home, although they left her with a mutual friend who is sober.

The other choices were worse, IMO. Hanging about, probably dozing off, would have made them a drag and maybe bothered their girlfriend, who might have felt pressured to leave. Going all alpha and demanding they both left then is unlikely to have gone down well. Driving back to pick her up afterwards is probably worse - she's said she's fine and she wants to do an allnighter, he's agreed and gone home...so what is he doing coming back to pick her up? She probably knows you're there if she needs you - if she contacts you and wants you to pick her up, you'd do it.

I think the worst case likely scenario is that she gets bladdered, the sober mate pours her into the back of his car and takes her home, where she falls asleep and forgets to text you.

Maybe text your mate, the sober one, if it's getting late.
