[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's an alcoholic. You need to divorce.[/quote]

That's incredibly harsh.   What happened to "in sickness and in health"?

That said- a frank conversation is in order though.  You love him, you planned to be married forever, have kids etc.  And you cant do that in the state he is currently in.  And you want to HELP him, if he is willing to get help.

You dont just instantly divorce.[/quote]

F that. They do not have kids. He does not think he has a problem and thinks that she is the problem. This is not someone who is ready to change or accept help to do so. OP does not have to stay with an emotionally and verbally abusive addict.

OP, get yourself a counselor who has experience with addiction who can help you understand addiction a little bit more and figure out your boundaries. Try al-anon and see if any of that sounds familiar.

Recovery/sobriety is a lifelong exercise for most alcoholics. It isn’t something a person achieves and then they don’t have to think about it anymore.

Do NOT have kids with him. You’re noticing the red flags. You probably have a gut feeling that you’re trying to ignore. LISTEN TO YOUR GUT.

Ask me how I know…
