DH doesn't drink all the time but when he does he drinks a fair amount. Doesn't get embarrassing/loud/violent/nasty or anything. But he hides the evidence.
Empty beer cans in the cupboard/outside, drinks while walking to the pub (ie buys a 4 pack on way there, its a 5 min walk!). Drinks while walking back from the pub I think he's having a 4 pack when actually he's bought 8 or 12 but is swapping them over in the kitchen so I don't realise. Found bottles (empty) of wine in the car, not drink driving but hiding them there.
Had many rows over the 10 years (and 3 dc) we have been together. Always promises to stop, or at least stop hiding it, I don't really bother about him drinking but its the lies and the hiding of evidence that annoys me.
He did it again this week. He is currently away for the next two weeks and I have told him not to come back I've had enough of the lies and never knowing what I'll find if I open the bin, open the cupboard, move the box outside etc etc.
My friend says its a disease/illness and he can't help it. DH has said he'll go to AA.
Any help? Anyone else been through this? Am a bit broken hearted that each time he swears he loves me/dc and won't do it again then the very next night, does
