[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the feedback; honestly the divorce recommendations were a bit frightening though. I don’t think that is the best solution at this point. This morning my husband agreed that the bottle of wine before dinner was too much. We talked about just splitting a bottle during the weekdays if we both decide to drink during dinner and no drinking alone. I’m still a little concerned about sticking with this rhythm going forward but my husband also had some overspending habits that he got totally under control within the last year. I feel like if he puts his mind to something he can achieve it. At this point, I’m more concerned about the conflict resolution piece and feeling like we can talk productively without these type of arguments. That’s not as simple to implement as agreeing to a certain number of drinks. [/quote]

NP here. One of my parents, three of my grandparents, two of my uncles and one of my cousins were/are alcoholics.  It is HORRIBLE to live with someone like this and I hate to have read your post and your excuses.  Please seriously consider leaving him.

He has a huge problem, and you are enabling him and making excuses, which is classic enabling behavior. You are scared to leave, and I get that, but he isn't going to change.  He is defensive, deflective, rude, etc. about his problem because he knows what he is doing isn't ok but he doesn't want to change.  So are you going to continue living with someone like this.  6-7 drinks any day of the week is awful. You said he did that on the week days and more on the weekends. Holy FS!

Please. I am telling you as someone who has watched alcohol kill families, ruin careers, thrown people in jail and caused horrific health problems.  I sincerely mean this, please leave.  Today.  You can do it. And don't ever have kids with him, ever.  [/quote]
