Aibu?

[Beelzebop]

My partner is not at all easy to live with and has mental health issues which he refused to address and drinks as a result. It has now got to the point where he won't talk about anything. Am I being unreasonable to give up? We have been together a long time with kids. Thanks.

Definitely not U.
Same here, spent 18 years trying to support my husband with alcoholism,drug abuse and mental health problems which he often blamed on his addictions. Despite him asking for help,he never ever wanted to speak to anyone about it, even GP.I think it was just an excuse.
He was saying it is depression but I suspect something more sinister like NPD, sociopathy etc.
In the end I was so exhausted and worried about our safety (he was very abusive and unpredictable) so I left.

Not unreasonable to want to give up, but can you actually do so logistically and financially?

What do you bring to the table that he doesn’t? How will your life look without him?

Alcohol is a depressant and if he's addicted then it just tends to compound any emotional or psychological issues (and some MH issues makes some people more prone to addiction) Do you have support to end the relationship in real life? Can you get your ducks in a row to exit as cleanly as possible? Good luck
