Is this because of his drinking/is this too much alcohol? Feeling isolated

I’m going to start this by saying I’ve never been a big drinker. I’m not opposed to having a few drinks or getting drunk, but I can have an alcohol free existence with absolutely no concerns at all. So I wonder if my view of alcohol consumption is a bit off.

My DP will happily buy two bottles of wine every time we go to the shops, every 3 days or so.

He will drink a bottle of wine easily over a meal at home mid week. This happens maybe 3/4 nights a week.

Sometimes he comes across as drunk, other times I can’t really notice but all the times he drinks he is more relaxed and less bad tempered. I think this is why he does it as he has a stressful job.

I am finding it really lonely having an intoxicated partner around me so often. I really dislike it. I’ve said I think a bottle over a meal mid week is not ok, in my opinion, but he says all his colleagues do it and it’s not a big deal.

When he’s not drinking though, he’s quite moody and quiet. I suspect he is drinking more than he tells me as he now knows I feel uncomfortable about it.

Would you worry? I’m pregnant too and I’ve told him i don’t like it for that reason either.

I read your previous post about your partner this morning.

Hi! I completely get where you're coming from.
when i fell pregnant with my one year old i went through similar.
My partner used to drink to block the news out i think and he said to relieve the stress. I used to get so angry with him. He’s not so bad now shes here x
