do you think he knew?

Question

ok so im at a wedding and im drunk, and my hubby's uncle was really drunk also, we were hangin out all night and twards the end of it i told him i loved him, he looked like shocked and stunned and then after a few seconds he told me he loved me 2, do you think he knew what i ment i love him like "family love" or how you'd love your brother or do you think he thought i ment something else? i know i shouldn't have drank so much but now its really bothering me do you think he took it the wrong way?

Answer 1

If that is all there is to the story, that you're sloppy drunk and lean over to your uncle-in-law and slur, "I love you," then I don't think you have anything to worry about. Leave it alone, don't mention it. I'm sure he just thought you meant family love or that you were just drunk and might possibly have professed love for anybody.

But if you bring it up now, it's going to look wierd and shady.

Answer 2

Okay, I'm not sure about the source of your concern.

Are you worried that he misunderstood your "I love you" and you're embarrassed about that?

Or are you worried that his "I love you" meant that he's interested in you and you've inadvertently encouraged him?

The truth is that whichever concern you have, your course of action is the same: Shrug it off. Of course you meant "I love you like a brother"! Duh! What else could you have possibly meant? Of course he meant "I love you like a sister!" What else could he have possibly meant? This is the attitude you need to take. You know what your intent was so stop freaking out about what he might have thought.

Whether he's interested in you or not, he knows very well that you were drunk and that you most likely meant "I love you like a brother." He may not even remember it. He may assume that you don't even remember it. So give him the benefit of the doubt and let it go.

If you're worried that things may be awkward, find a way to make a joke about it in front of your husband and his uncle e.g. "Do you know I can't touch red wine since Suzie's wedding? You should have seen me that night, hubby. I was such a happy drunk." Then imitate yourself as a sloppy drunk, "I love you, Suzie! I love you, JoJo! etc."

Answer 3

Two drunk people probably weren't taking each other very seriously.
Tell your husband what happened so there are no unpleasant surprises if his uncle did take it the wrong way.
If you are really uncomfortable, call the uncle and apologize for your behavior and say that you hope you didn't say anything offensive or inappropriate. If he even remembers what happened, he'll probably understand. If he doesn't remember, then you got off easy. If he brings it up, then explain that you meant a family love, like a father or brother.
Problem solved without having to embarrass yourself by calling to specifically bring it up.

Answer 4

It sounds like he mean't it that way when he said it anyways. Did anything happen after that? Maybe you should talk about it? Tell him your sorry for getting so drunk and you knew what you were saying and you mean't it just in another way!

Answer 5

well it all depends a lot also on wht happened after tht incident.
and on the character of ur hubby's uncle.
if he is a fine gentleman he shud have taken it like famliy love.
and also do consider wht happened afterworld.

Answer 6

thats how you meant it if he didnt' take it that way its his bad. and if you ever feel like he took it a way you didn't mean you need to set it straight with him. Maybe set it straight with him anyway sense you are fretting about it so.

Answer 7

I wouldn't worry about it i'm sure he took it as you meant family love.good luck
