[quote=Anonymous]I get the partying.  My husband and I went out and partied or we would go separately for a few years after we had kids.  We are both physicians.  Maybe it has something to do with being in healthcare?

What you are describing here with your husband sounds beyond partying to me.  It sounds like addiction.  Here’s why I say this:

- He isn’t fulfilling his major social obligations.  He isn’t being a great husband or father here.  Also, is he working besides being in the band?
  
-  He is drinking more than he means to and lying about it.

-  He is drinking while driving, which sets him up for legal consequences and is just plain dangerous.

-  Ira causing significant problems in his relationships

This is a highly heritable illness.  Are his bio parents dealing with addiction? 
He probably needs help, and he isn’t going to be much of a partner to you until he gets it.

I agree with previous posters that you should leave this relationship.  I would leave it with him that you will take him back when he gets sober and maintains sobriety for six months or so.  [/quote]
