[quote=Anonymous]Do not have a child with a pouting alcoholic. What will you do when you have to go out of town and your DH is in charge without you? Will he be able to take care of a child while he is drunk? What if you child get hurts (or dies) while in his care because he was so drunk?

If you have a child with him, at least be honest with yourself that you are entering a life of single motherhood.

You DH has a serious problem that will only get worse. Even if he gets help today and gets into a program (there are many, not just AA. Try looking into SMART recovery), it takes at least a year of no drinking to get your brain functioning again. He will have no extra mental energy to take care of the needs of a child, let alone a newborn infant.

He needs to be sober (and seeking help, program, therapist) for at least a year before you can try to get pregnant. And even then it's a struggle. My DH is in recovery for several years, he wants to be sober, and he still slips up.

If you are worried about your age, do a freeze all cycle. Have all your embryos frozen. Then once your DH gets help and you've waited a year, then you can do a FET.
