[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He would rather drink alone after you go to bed than go to bed with you.

The problem isn't his drinking it is your relationship.

I don't know how you open up the discussions for that, but suggest it is a first step.[/quote]

Stop blaming the wife for the husband’s drinking problem.  Even if they have an unhappy marriage, normal people don’t solve their relationship woes by drinking heavily.

OP, please start attending Al-anon openly, i.e. your husband has to know you think he has a serious drinking problem and that you are seeking help for the way it affects you. You should also start seeing an individual therapist. You meed support for the way this is impacting you and to help you make decisions about your life.

Personally, I stopped drinking with my now ex DH - I wasn’t enjoying it because he used my normal drinking (a glass of wine) to enable his abnormal drinking.  My stopping didn’t make him stop, but it did make me feel more comfortable and gave our kids a better and different model of no or moderate drinking.  Thankfully, after several generations of alcoholism, the kids seem to have broken the cycle (at least so far).
