I made a statement when I was drinking that I don't mean!!! I don't usually drink so much that I black out but 2 weeks ago I did... during this time my boyfriend, whom has trust issues with me already told me that we were talking and I said I wanted attention from other men because he doesn't give me enough. I DO NOT FEEL that way!!!! I don't know why I said it and its not what I want but it has caused major hurt and betrayal and more trust issues for him. Why did I say this and how can I convince him its not his I feel??

Some people think humans are more honest when they are drunk. Which isn't true since alcohol is a depressant and slows down most brain functions to zilch. Which means we can say something that is a lie just for the sake of speaking because that's the only thing your mind honed in on.

I'd say to be honest. He knows you were drinking, so I don't think it is out of the question to say "I was drinking and I said something I didn't mean." and go from there. I think it's important to stay calm in these kind of situations because you both will feed off of each others anxiety and it will just grow.

Take care.

not to mention that honesty is the best policy, and owning up to our mistakes, while difficult to do, actually does make things better.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
