When I moved in with my partner I realised he was drinking every night. I knew he liked a drink beforehand but I thought he was a social drinker. However I soon realised even if I wasn’t drinking he would still drink on his own in the house every night. Along with me worrying about his health, it was also the root cause of most issues. One of which was that our sex life suffered. The last 2 times we have tried to have sex he hasn’t been able to maintain an erection, one of which was tonight. I’m feeling so deflated & frustrated. I’m trying not to take it personally but these little thoughts creep in to question whether he doesn’t fancy me anymore. Even though logic tells me it’s because he’s been drinking all day today from mid afternoon. I’ve managed to get him to cut down his drinking but he still drinks 5 nights a week on average. Is that too much? And am I right the issue here is him and not me? If he stops drinking will this get better? Or is the damage done?
