[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry to hear about this OP. I, like you, also dating a man whose alcoholism I got "clues" about as we were engaged, and then it was not until after we married that his alcoholism became apparent. I encourage you to do your homework. It is not easy being married to an alcoholic. It is a tough path. Go to 10 al anon meetings. You will hear a litany of sad spouses talking. I ended up divorced and did a bunch of therapy. Proceed with caution is all I am saying. Beware also that in the "shame spiral" someone spoke about earlier, you as the spouse may expect blame: "you know why I drink? look in the mirror!" is a typical explanation you may get from an alcoholic spouse. It really is tough situation you are in but follow your instincts and listen to what people are talking about at al anon. The al anon meetings I went to were not at all religious. Try a few locations and find one that suits your needs. [/quote]
