Hi All,
Just looking for a bit of advice about my husband. So the past 2 years and a bit I had some issues with alcohol. I feel I’ve sorted it out and I’m a lot more secure in myself I hadn’t drank in over a year.
So I told my husband a couple of weeks ago that I want to have a drink when occasions come up, or even if I feel like having a glass of wine at home. He wasn’t happy but grudgingly agreed.
Now though, I find him so stifling and controlling, he makes me feel like a wayward teenager.
A couple of weeks ago I had a couple of glasses of wine and he was rolling his eyes. So the next weekend I had a couple, I hid the mini bottles in the bin and he found them and he sulked for ages!
Last night, I told him I was calling up to my mam who I haven’t seen in months due to lockdown, it was me and my sister and my mams best friend, who’s birthday it was.
I got home around 10:30, very sober and I got the cold shoulder again!
I’m so sick of feeling like a child in my own home.
My mam was really annoyed by his attitude, she knows about the issues I’ve had in the past and how I’m really turning my life around.
I’m a great mum and wife, I work full time and keep the house going. Am I being unreasonable to want to have a few drinks with my family Or on a Saturday night?
To explain further, my problems with drink in the past were nothing violent or didn’t effect my family life.
He just thought I drank too much (every night) which I fully agreed with and I would never go back to that.
Thanks in advance for your opinions
