[quote=Anonymous]OP here:  My spouse rarely smelled of alcohol, but that is because the drinking would take place after the house went down for the night.  By the morning it wasn't so much of an issue.  I would find my spouse on the couch, in the guest room etc if I woke up, and I always thought it was bizarre.  The reasons I was given were that my spouse couldn't sleep, didn't want to bother me with snoring, finished a movie and was too tired to come to bed etc.  My family and I always thought my spouse had odd sleep habits, but it did take time to understand that it was actually an attempt to conceal the drinking when everyone was asleep for the night. There was eventually day drinking (past 6 months in my estimation), but it was in different containers (ie beer in a Starbucks covered cup or water bottle, or non-alcoholic beer in which I was told I was crazy bc "see, I'm not drinking alcohol, I'm drinking alcohol free beer!)

For those of you saying I have been in denial, I disagree.  This past year I have suspected it, have been monitoring hiding spots, confronting my spouse about it, etc.  A suspicion is different than denial.  Once I found irrefutable evidence ( a HUGE and unhealthy quantity of empty containers after I had come home early from a business trip,) it all came together. It was then my spouse admitted it.
