[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he recognize he has a problem and is he actively getting help?  A drink before work is very worrisome.  Does he drive after drinking?[/quote]

He recognizes he has a problem. He's been sober (involved with AA) a few times in the past. He doesn't see it as a huge issue for all of the reasons I listed in my OP. (And I kind of don't either.) If he'd burned a lot of bridges, or had a bad reputation, or was struggling professionally, or had legal/financial issues I would be concerned - but none of this is happening. [/quote]

I married a man like this.  Alcohol will always be a problem for him.  Like another poster said, life will only get more complicated and challenging.  If you marry him you must be aware he will NOT change.  He may stop drinking but will most likely start again.  Only marry him if you can deal with his drinking.  [/quote]

This. I finally left him after a DWI and him making poor decisions.  He told me he was never going to stop drinking. [/quote]
