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.

He is lying to you about what the doctor said to him. People like this do that. My mother always lied about what the doctor said to her.

+1. Either the OP is a troll or if real the DH is lying. Doctors would never, never been unconcerned about this. My DH showed up at the hospital with symptoms from alcohol withdrawal and had the precursor to fatty liver. The doctor told him to cut out alcohol. And that was not as bad as what you're describing, medically! At this rate I'd be somewhat concerned your DH is in late stage alcoholism and will be dead soon - second the poster who mentioned getting the will in order (but use an excuse, not his alcohol consumption, and bring it up when he's sober). It can happen this young.

OP you need a support system that's not DCUM. Stat. Ideally other people who have alcoholics in their lives, because only they know the specific weirdnesses. Being the "not fun" wife and number 1 enemy can very quickly get dangerous when an alcoholic has their inhibitions lowered because they're plastered.

Do you guys have kids?

Op here. Why do you think this is a troll? I wish!

I was on the phone with the BE doctor when he said as long as he takes his antacid medicine, alcohol is okay.

Well, he was mostly sober for 3 years. This has started again since January and it coincides with his unhappiness being married to me. We do not have children. I think he resorts to the bottle when he is stressed or depressed.

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?

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

The people party into their 60s from what I have seen. Large parties, keg stands and whole weekends related to being hungover and reminiscing the great time that was had.

My husband is similar. He does have a diagnosis of fatty liver disease and non-dysplastic Barrett's esophagus. He recently went to Vegas with a friend for a week and came home with bruises on his body. Is it normal for people to drink so much that you get bruises??

In his normal week, after I go to bed, he will stay up till 4 am and drink a bottle of wine with 4-5 beers. Sometimes 2 bottles of wine. He then sleeps in till noon. When I say this is not okay he says I am just "not fun" and don't understand his culture.
