[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you letting your husband police your relationship with alcohol? Tell him to STFU.[/quote]

Lemme guess....you're in a satisfying, happy, loving marriage?  Just kidding, people who are never speaking to or about their spouse this way. My spouse has a profound impact on my life and me on his.  That's actually how healthy longterm marriages (and relationships in general) work.  Sad you don't experience that.

OP - dry is dry.  Just prove it to yourself and him that everything is fine.[/quote]

Why does she have to prove to him that she can break a completely innocent habit? Why do you have to prove yourself to your husband? That doesn't sound healthy to me.[/quote]
The husband is concerned. Op alone can ease his worry by abstaining. Op has to decide if her apparent habituation to alcohol is more valuable than her dhs peace of mind. If they have children, their well being must be considered, too.[/quote]

So after she’s sober for 30 days do you think he will be fine with her resuming her daily drink? I doubt it; he will just move the goalposts. This is why you don’t indulge unreasonable requests—they lead to increasingly unreasonable requests.[/quote]
None of us know the man or his motives, only what op said. We can assume op is reliable reporting what was said. She doesn't come off defensive, imo, but she does seem to be considering what he said. Women will find all kinds of support on here to do/ continue to do things which may be destructive to their relationships. Ops dh is concerned about her drinking habit and wants her to dry out. Why is that a problem for a non alcohol dependent person? It's not as if he demanded she stop consuming carbs, fat and sugar. That woukd be controlling. But a daily alcohol fix?? It's reasonable for her to give it a rest in order to put his mind at ease. He is her dh, after all.[/quote]
