To think my dh should be supporting my decision

I'm trying to stop drinking, I don't drink a lot just on a Saturday night.
I am on a diet, eating healthy and last week decided to stop drinking and have noticed in just a week I've lost the bloat and feel better.

Dh wants to have a drink with me again tonight at home and is trying to persuade me even though he knows my plans, he keeps on.

AIBU to think he should be supporting me instead of making me feel like a party pooper?
I've suggested he have a drink with a friend but he doesn't want to, he wants me to have a drink.

If I give in I know I'll feel terrible about it because I'll be back where I started.
I know a week's not long but I feel really good in myself and see the positive change I've made.

Well now he now's that his tactics work, he'll be even worse next weekend. You should have held firm!

I've given in and poured a glass of wine but I've made it clear that this is the last time.

It won't be the last time because he now knows nagging you to have a drink works.

I view anyone who pressures other people to drink with suspicion.

Does he need you to drink to conceal his own dysfunctional drinking?

Even if his drinking isn't a problem he has an issue with respecting your boundaries which would be a problem for me.

That’s worrying that you can’t say no to him.
