[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imo having dealt with alcoholic family members, this doesn't sound like an affair to me.  Rather a drinking problem. He's now physically dependent.  I'm sorry.  Have a sit down ultimatum with him.  Give him a chance to sober up, as etc.  Give him time. Figure out ahead of time how many relapses you are willing to put up with. Imo with children involved, don't put up with relapses buy I think he deserves support at least in the beginning of his journey. If he stays the course, by all means provide him all the love and support he deserves. But cut bait if he relapses once.  I know it's harsh and I may get hate for it. But sadly I know all too well the damage and trauma alcoholism causes. [/quote]

But doesn't "physically dependent" require more than binges 1x every other month? Physical dependence is more like daily drinking. It sounds like OP is with her DH enough to know that he isn't doing this every day, every week, or even every other week, he's doing it every once in a while, and lying, which is why I kind of align with these folks saying that their affair-having DHs behaved the same way. I don't have any experience with that personally, but from this thread it sounds like it's a thing.

And if it's not an affair, there is something else triggering him to suddenly decide to get wasted on these incidents that were all about 2 months apart.
