DH's drinking is worrying me & making me sad. I have been trying so hard to talk to him about it for a long while now. He's recently agreed to read a book about cutting out alcohol and try to cut down - on the one hand he totally agrees with me that he has an issue, but when he has a drink (or 10) and I comment, he just rolls his eyes like I'm trying to ruin his fun. I've told him I will get fed up of this eventually because it's really hurtful. He says he loves me and wants to cut down. But it's clear to me after 20 years & 2 kids together that he can't. I love him. I understand why he drinks - stressful job , disfunctional wider family etc... I just want us to be happy & don't want to rip our family apart. I just don't know if I can be happy with an alcoholic forever I'm SO fed up with feeling let down by him.
I went to an Al anon meeting but found it terribly depressing and quite like a religion (even though they assured me it wasn't religious). I just don't know what to do.
