[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a truth worth repeating, that if your spouse believes you have a problem with alcohol, you have a problem with alcohol. Your desire to cast this in different terms (husband is newly controlling due to death of parents), is that part of your subconscious mind, which is terrified of losing that to which it is addicted. Someone without an emotional or physical dependency would gladly refrain from drinking during husband’s grieving period, the first time he expressed his feelings about it. Read Annie Grace, This Naked Mind. [/quote]

The issue isn't not drinking. It's that my spouse hasn't been forthright with me or spoken to me about it. It's been passive-aggressive comments to me and about our friends engaging in behavior that he has been fine with for many years.

In fact, after reading this thread, I asked him if he would like me to abstain. He said no and said he did not want to discuss it right now.

I don't care about not drinking. I have gone years at a time without drinking due to pregnancy, a health issue, etc. I do care about being berated and yelled at. Not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic, so please don't project. [/quote]

So now he's yelling t you and berating you?  I just don't trust your version of events. I hope you can figure it out.[/quote]
