Been with my partner 18 months , always knew he enjoyed a drink especially after work but it’ soon became apparent it’s a few cans every night not just weekends , it changes his personality and he becomes opinionated in his views on any thing and everything.
I sit back and watch his personality change , not so much nasty or ever aggressive Just unbelievably opinionated every one else is wrong he is right .
My Sunday evening been ruined after he polished off a bottle of wine and became on his soap box about politics then moved on to a well known singer who he described as being a sexual deviant and no worse than M Jackson , I disagreed and said he was wrong , god forbid I disagree , I stood back and looked at him and thought why am I putting up with this and offered to take him home .
He declined a lift and walked straight to the nearest pub saying I was the one in the wrong and that I can have an opinion but he can’t .
Past history is if there’s a problem in his life go off and drink known for his benders in difficult times , seen him turn and sleep in his car before now .
It’s such a shame as it spoils him .
Health not great yet continues to smoke and drink , makes me sad as he’s going to end up in an early grave of which he is aware .
Sorry for ramble not even sure what I want in response just feeling so low 😕

This sounds hard to deal with. have you tried broaching the subject with him when he's sober?

I wouldn't put up with it. You've not been together long. Now should be the rosy honeymoon period. He's not going to get any better and, long term, you'll lose all respect for him. Cut your losses and go looking for someone else.
