[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this doesn’t sound like a one-time thing. It sounds like an escalation. Yes alcohol contributed but I don’t see how it won’t happen again. And [b]you can’t just tell someone “don’t drink” and expect them to stop.[/b]

Like a prior poster said, drinking doesn’t cause you to do things that are totally against your nature. It amplifies things. I think your husband is dangerous.

I don’t think you should make any decisions now and you need time to just let yourself survive but I also think that if you try to stay, you’re going to be hounding him about AA and emotionally exhausting yourself in couples therapy and he might just do it again anyway. I know I personally couldn’t handle that, even for the sake of my children whom I adore more than anything. [/quote]

Yes, you very much can! Reasonable people wouldn't even need to be told at this point. If your drinking/substance use/habitual behavior is causing harm, and you're not a total piece of 💩, you stop. Zero excuses.[/quote]

Well exactly, I think OP’s husband is a total piece of 💩 (sorry OP) so I don’t think it’s reasonable to totally expect him to stop. I see that she did ask him and I do hope he sticks to it. [/quote]
