My DH is a heavy drinker, i think he has a problem, he doesn't as he only drinks Lager!!!!
He's doesnt get "drunk" as such, just does gets repetitive and boring and i can't stand talking to him when he's had that little bit too much that has sent him over the edge
We've been together 15 yrs and i think it's getting worse - he drinks everyday - approx 8/10 330ml beers after work, then weekends drinking can comence from 7pm ish till midnight.
I've tried talking to him about, i've tried shouting about and even tried ignoring it, not sure what to do anymore.
When i bring it up, usually because him drinking has either left me at home like some sad woman alone AGAIN as he has popped to the pub for a few or becuase i've got so angry with him drinking again and the impact this has on our lives it has pissed me right off, he gets cross and wont discuss and doesn't think he has a problem or he gives me lip service in that he says all the right things of cutting back, sees how selfish it is and will put me first - this doesn't last!!!!!
I don't know how best to get through to him, to see what effect he has on his family. I've even considered relationship councilling so i can get out everything i feel and he has to listen but i don't think that's what its for.
Anone any advise?
