Men: Would you break up over this?

Question

You have a drinking problem, and are out drinking at your dad's house, and come in at 1:15 am when you said you would be home at 11.  Your child is sick, and you don't check on her.  I am not the child's mother. You come in tired and drunk from drinking.  Your girlfriend tells you to apologize for not coming home on time.  You ignore her.  She tells you to sleep in the other room, and follows you there.  She insists on having a conversation about the drinking.  You ignore her.  She threatens to break up with you if you don't talk to her.  You continue to ignore her.  She gets a cup of water, and pours it on your face when you are laying there with your back to her, ignoring her.  Based on the water poured on you, would you think she was nuts? and then decide to break up with her?  You have been together a year and a half, and are engaged.

She is an idiot because he is drunk, so anything said by her at that time isn't going to matter. Her wanting a conversation and to talk about his drinking should wait until he has slept it off.

She doesn't know how to handle this properly and he shouldn't be out drinking. They shouldn't be together at this time. And I really feel sorry for the kid.

The pouring water on someone's face is immature. So is staying out drinking when you have a sick child. 

I say it sounds like an unhealthy relationship just by what was given here.

Anyone with a sick child at home who feels the need to go out drinking doesn't deserve to have a family at home. Sorry but she's justified and you aren't.

Edit: I'm assuming that you are the drunken guy in this question. It's not the easiest to follow.

I suppose if I was a selfish d-bag father with a drinking problem I'd probably break up with her right up until I realized I had a free baby sitter who would watch my child while I got drunk.  Hell, if a cup of water is the worst I'd have to deal with coming home drunk it would be worth it.

Who is more important to you, her or the booze. Man you have just been given a wake up call from her. If you don't respond more positively you risk losing her. Is that what you really want? At the moment, you sound very committed to her or even yourself, get some help before you blow everything.

you have to know what trigger his drinking problem before you make your decision.  if he drinks just because he wants to drink, then it is time for you to leave him or you gonna regret it for the rest of your life.  how can a irresponsible guy takes good care of a family?  never will..

I would leave if i was either person. whoever was drinking shouldn't have been but the person they came home to should have waited til the next morning to talk it out.
