Today, I married the love of my life. I was ecstatic until the wedding reception, where my new husband got drunk and started crying about how he'd been "forced" into marrying me. FML

That blows. People tend to reveal their true feeling when hammered. Not a good start but maybe it's just his fears coming out. He may learn to love married life.

maybe she's pregnant and he thinks he has to do the right thing by marrying her.

Ouch... Talk to him when he's sober and ask him what he meant by he was "forced" to marry you... If that's how he feels, even though you truly love him, this might end in tears and lead to an annulment.

OP, this really blows and you definitely need to talk with your new husband, but he could have simply been nervous and babbling. I know one of the reasons I'd never have a big wedding with multiple friends and family around is that I'd hate never having the chance to sit down and collect my thoughts in private for a whole day. Maybe your husband was overwhelmed by being the center of attention. Hell, maybe "forced to marry" you was his drunken way of saying he didn't actually want a huge wedding, not that he doesn't want to be with you for the rest of his life. No matter what, a good, long discussion is in order. Good luck OP!

Not likely. Drunk actions are sober thoughts. It's absolutely a myth that being drunk just causes you to say things you didn't even mean. No, the reality is those are just the things you have the common sense to keep to yourself when you're sober and can think before you speak, but when you lose the ability to think before you speak you'll say all the things you normally wouldn't, but were in your mind regardless. OP, you should seriously get the marriage annulled. If he seriously feels like he was forced to marry you then your marriage is doomed from the start. Cut your loses before it gets worse.

Personally, I would love to read a counterpart FML from the perspective of the OP's new husband. I have a strange suspicion OP here is the overbearing type and might not even realize it.

If you're suggesting she forced him into the wedding, that's possible yes, but if he felt forced and didn't back out beforehand he's just as much to blame as her. Nobody could have forced him to go through with the wedding. If he didn't feel ready or didn't really want to at all it was completely wrong of him to not say something. Even if she's the type who wouldn't have even taken it serious had he tried to end it, there's no way she could have ultimately forced him, so regardless of whether she has issues of her own or not, he was in the wrong for going through with something he apparently didn't even actually want to do.

I do not disagree with you in the least, israelnotjacob. I'm simply speculating that there is likely a reason that the groom felt that way. possibly even a good reason. hence why I'd like to see his side of the story in another fml.

But even in that case she didn't force him. There are plenty of couples these days who raise children together and don't get married. Having children out of wedlock isn't looked down upon the same way it was before.

To those who say drunk words are sober thoughts: this is true, to an extent. They do tell the truth, but sometimes it's an imagined truth.

Well even if he was just "imagining" that he was forced into the marriage, if he feels that's the case there's still a serious problem (whether he actually was or not). The point is what you say while drunk is no doubt something that was still in your mind while sober. Alcohol does not invent thoughts, it just gives some a push out the door that is your mouth.

Run away, OP. Get an annulment before you waste any more of your life trapped with a cowardly little boy.

Why do I get a feeling that next week we're all going to be reading an FML that goes something like this, Today, I woke up the day after my wedding to the love of my life with a hangover and an angry wife who wants an annulment. I don't even know what I said and she won't tell me! FML I'll agree that this is a very bad thing for the OP's husband to have said. But there may be more to it than that he doesn't love the OP. Maybe they simply married too quickly, maybe he didn't want a huge wedding? The point is that the OP should talk to her husband before doing anything rash. Yeah, what the guy said sucked, but if the OP is the kind of person who won't talk this out, this marriage, or any other marriage of hers was doomed from the start.

Normally I would agree, but getting drunk and openly admitting you felt forced into it on the day of your wedding are both completely unacceptable. She has every right to just get it annulled at this point. Even if he hadn't said that the fact that he would get drunk for their wedding shows he has serious problems, and getting away would be a smart move.

He's at a party, I don't think it's exactly unforgivable to drink more than you meant to. Especially if he's the sort of person who usually doesn't drink but suddenly is expected to toast a lot.

Give me a break. If you can't control yourself on your wedding day you're not ready for that kind of commitment. If he felt like he had toasted a little too much he could have just used water the rest of the night. Are you telling me its okay for an adult to have so little control/self-awareness?

Oh, I think OP should tell her husband EXACTLY what he said. That he was drunk is no excuse; ever hear the phrase "in vino veritas"?
