Drinking too much to cope with this stress

Hi, I posted a few months back about my partners hygiene issues and how much anxiety/ stress it was causing me. I brought it up with him more since I posted and he's continually gaslight me and became angry around the house so I'm basically done. Home has become a very stressful place and not a sanctuary at all. I have been drinking wine almost every night the past week as it's the only way I feel I can relax at home and not care if he comes to bed without showering or if we have an argument. I don't really know what I'm asking I guess I just need to know I'm not alone in this being a short term coping strategy. I'm usually at the gym at 6am everyday so this is really not me and I plan to be right back to that but just feeling so stressed at the moment and trying to block out reality. I plan to end things this weekend and just need some reassurance I suppose. Craving a clean peaceful space to go home to and never knew I could feel so anxious at home.

You know it’s not a healthy coping strategy, try to find another way to destress. It could snowball in to a bad habit. Don’t ruin yourself too. I looked at the previous thread. It’s time to leave.
