Irrational issues - moving on

Kia Ora IM's.

I am writing to talk about an issue that is really silly. Every time my husband goes out with his friends or to a party and I am at home with the kids, I get really irrational and get annoyed at him for going and having fun.I drink too, but not often. So its not that I don't like him drinking at all. I know these feelings stem from previous issues with drinking coming before family(childhood, and ex partner) but I am also aware that my husband is always thinking of us first, and doesn't go out much at all. He is hardworking and totally deserves his time to relax and have some fun. I absolutely get that and I want that for him. I just need to get past this resent me. Its not his fault.

I know for the sake of our marriage this is something I need to move past and suck it up so please understand I don't need the haters. He's allowed his fun without me and we need a life outside of each other, but how do I ensure I keep my feelings in check when alcohol is involved? Does anyone have any tips of how to move beyond this? Does anyone else struggle with this?
