[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t say how old he is. You say he has relatives in their 60s who drink like fish, but you don’t say how old he himself is. In any event, depending on how old he is he sounds like fun.[/quote]

He is 36.

Apparently his doctor told him both his fatty liver and BE are no big deal and he can drink...I don't think the doctor understands how much he drinks!

He did try to be sober for 3 years after his BE diagnosis...but he hated it and has started drinking again starting this January. I don't mean a glass of wine at dinner. In fact, I have never seen him have just 1 glass of wine or beer...ever. 1 turns into a bottle!

And of course, I am his no.1 enemy, the "not fun" wife who is a buzz kill.

I am increasingly concerned for his well being.

We met when we were 22 so...all american friends were drinking. I did not realize...he would not stop as an adult.[/quote]

He can't possibly be helpful around the house or a pleasant and engaged partner. Are you from a culture where women do everything and the husbands do whatever they want? [/quote]

OP here. He is not. He wants to divorce me and has been blaming everything on me. Its his reason for drinking and partying.[/quote]

I mean, I think I would take him up on it.[/quote]

Not OP, but I bet he won't initiate anything himself. Alcoholics have a way of getting lazy and also being incapable of making decisions. It's a known thing. All they can think about is getting the next drink, and it's not like they're thinking well while plastered/passed out.

It might be that her DH would be happy if she initiated, but if she really wants the divorce she'll have to do it herself. Now if he doesn't want to be contentious that makes things easier.[/quote]
