[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't encourage or ask him to quit drinking. I have told him he needs to work on control, stopping at 3 beers instead of getting all hyped up and having 6 and then ordering shots for everyone. We really aren't the kind of couple that is out drinking very often, so those incidences were not common. He never has been a daily drinker. He just is a binge drinker when he does drink, which is his problem.

I think the impetus for this is that we are moving in together, and he wants a fresh start at the beginning of our new life together. He's making other changes (job, friends, church) that he feels will make him a better person and good husband/father after we are married.

Thank you all for your advice. I feel much better about talking about this with him now that I know more. I'm really hoping that he was just being over-ambitious, and now that it's been a few weeks, he is being more realistic about it.

There are about 17 kinds of red flags here. The need to make himself over into some completely new person because you're moving in together and talking about getting married is very strange. As is the fact that he's insisting you make changes that you're not on board with as well.[/quote]
