I don’t know what to do.Married for 15 years with two children.Husband has always had a tendency to overindulge in booze but only occasionally.Over the last 5 years,his boozing has increased exponentially .He doesn’t drink during the day ,but I have found bottles of vodka,gin in his car and when he goes out on work trips etc ,I know he drinks to excess.
Every time I have found alcohol hidden ,I have created a huge ruckus and temporarily things calm down.He promised me he wasn’t drinking on the sly last week but I found a bottle of gin in the car.When confronted ,he wove some implausible bull shit tale.
I am so angry about being lied to constantly.
I have told my family,some friends about his problem and booked a session with a counsellor.
He is in denial and does not admit to having a problem.
I have told him I want a separation and he has agreed.
It is so fucking hurtful that he would choose not to confront his problems and resolve them than wanting to separate.
I feel so alone and worried I may not be doing the right thing for my children who adore their father,but status quo cannot continue.
He is not abusive in anyway,but he has lied to me and deceived me repeatedly about his boozing.
What am I supposed to do?
