Unreasonable Behaviour

I'm divorcing my husband on grounds of unreasonable behaviour. His drinking problem, but also that he spends recklessly as such getting me into debt without informing me and missing financial payments. I have lots of examples of both, but should I just write down episodes of his drinking or also the financial stuff? The form just says "you shouldn't need more than half a dozen examples, including dates".
I'm going to be writing a bloody novel at this rate!

I wrote 18 pages of bullet points. My solicitor was gob smacked with all of them . They will pick the most relevant out.

Put examples of all kinds of behaviour, so the drinking and the financial stuff. Explain the impact on you. Older incidents are less relevant.

Yes - I was going to say first, worst and last incident of each too.,

So 6 incidences in total - 3 relating to drinking and 3 to financials. You can say that they are continuing too.
