To be annoyed and embarrassed at his drinking

[LilGblue]

Long story short DH is too fond of a drink and it causes arguments with us almost weekly. Asked him if he could please stay the right side of sober today whilst my family were over for dinner. By 4pm he was drunk having had at least 12 lagers plus vodka then staggered by and passed out on the bed until about an hour ago.

I was so embarrassed and angry sitting there trying to make out it didn't bother me but it really has.

My family have went home now and I've fell out with DH as he thinks I'm being unreasonable as "everyone drinks and goes to sleep on Christmas day".

I can see this tuning into a massive fight now and he'll probably disappear out drinking for the night.

So basically AIBU or is he?

I totally get you and . My ex is an alcoholic and when he did get help he lied and told them he was not drinking when he was. It just gets worse and you will be better off without him.

There's getting drunk and passing out and having a couple of early drinks and a nap to queenie though.

So sorry op. Been there, done that got the t shirt. Your dh has a drinking problem and it's a fucking horrible thing to live with. If he doesn't think he has a problem, it aint gonna change, you'll just have a life of misery constant worry and anxiety over every social function . It's truly awful and I'm so sorry you're going through this.

You can have my first 'LTB'

He's an alcoholic OP.

LilG how are you getting on?
