[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve been married 15 years. She has always been a social drinker and the “mom needs a glass of wine” type but honestly I never really saw that as THAT unusual. (Or maybe she was just good at hiding it.) But around six months ago I started noticing harder liquor in the house (like vodka) which we NEVER have on hand unless it is some sort of special occasion (eg having people over and making mixed drinks) and two months ago we were on vacation, just the two of us, in St. Croix for a week and that was really the first time in awhile it had just been her and I for a longer stretch of time and I did notice she was drinking more than what I would consider normal. She definitely has a high tolerance because she wasn’t acting super weird or anything but that was kind of the first inclination I had that something wasn’t right. And then a few weeks ago I noticed booze on her breath at our daughter’s parent teacher conference (!) and then this weekend was the first time she was really, clearly out of it and drunk.

I know she is going through some difficult times at work (major shakeups in her department, she’s had 3 bosses in 6 months and she’s frustrated with her company’s lack of direction) but obviously that doesn’t make the drinking acceptable. [/quote]

It sounds like your wife may have just lost her job and she hasn't told you yet.
