I got into a fight with my husband who ran out completely wasted. He left in his truck. I warned him not to drive and that I would call the police so he didn't kill himself or others. I have a baby to worry about and could not live with myself if he killed a child. I called the police. They got him for a DUI. I later bailed him out and am completely okay with us having to pay the fines and live without him having a license for a year. He said he forgives me, but I can't help but wonder if I made a mistake??????

What matters the most to you;
Doing what you feel is the right thing to do
Or
Doing what makes your husband happy?
You made your choice, and personally I feel you made the right choice.
You may have saved a life or 2, 1 including your husbands.
You didn't do it out of vindictiveness, you did it out of safety. And that's the "right" reason.
Tell your husband, if he doesn't like the reaction he got from "his" behavior, then maybe he needs to change his "behavior" in order to get a better reaction :)

You did not make a mistake by calling the police. How would you have felt if he had went out and got into a bad wreck and killed himself or someone else. The only mistake that you have made is to stop feeling guilty for what you have done.

Good for you! I think you were very brave in calling the police. You did exactly what you should have. He should be thanking you.
Don't think for a minute you did something wrong. A grown man should know better. Like you said, he could have killed someone or himself.

You possibly saved someones life. If not his someone else. Because it was your husband, i know that made it even harder to do. You done the right thing.Your husband must learn that he cant jump in his truck while he is intoxicated every time you get into a spat.

That was a courageous decision in my opinion.
You showed integrity and great love for your husband, yourself, and your child.
He may have mixed feelings sometimes.. that is HIS issue to work through... You can live with a little criticism... But could you have lived with it if the outcome had been fatal?

You did the right thing. Think about how bad you would have felt had he killed someone or himself.

You did the right thing...but I'm sure the drama could've been avoided, somehow. Anyway...he's forgiven you...let that be water under the bridge. And if he keeps bringing it up later...he hasn't forgiven you...

I wouldn't have bailed him out of jail.

I don't believe he forgives you, and really, if he did that to you, would you be able to trust him again. If the answer is no, then how can he trust you???
