Husbands Drinking

Long story short my husband got very drunk at New Year and had an argument with my family and was kicked out of their house (we had stayed over). He has since apologised and we are going to marriage counselling for that, and other issues. He hasnt been drinking since this incident (apart from celebrating a promotion with me, half a bottle of prosecco) but last night he asked if I minded him having a bottle of wine and I said sure. I went to bed about 9pm and let him have a lie in til just now (10am).

He's just gotten up and told me he can't do anything today, he's dying because he went out while I slept and bought another bottle and drank that too. I'm angry at him for drinking so much when he's only just started drinking again and after saying he'll be drinking moderately. I explained that but he says he doesn't understand and that I'm being 'ridiculous' and 'crazy', he refuses to see he's done anything wrong or worrying. Aibu????

You know YANBU. He has a problem with alcohol and he cannot drink moderately. If he drinks, he drinks. He may not be willing to admit it right now but you know it's true

What remains is what you can control. What do you want, what are you willing to live with (and your DC if you have them) and what are you going to do.

As a first step, seek some support for yourself. Al Anon is a good start for supporting the families of those who have problems with alcohol.
