My boyfriend lost his job a few months ago and has started to come down with depression. I'm really starting to worry about him as he is also drinking on a daily basis, at least a bottle of wine every night, which he thinks is normal and everyone he knows does it.
Its starting to have an effect on our relationship. For example he talks to himself in the evenings when he is out side having a cigarette. He doesn't care about me anymore, upsets me alot by talking about other women and stares at them when he's with me, and thinks i'm over reacting. He never calls when he says he will. He doesn't wash very often. He doesn't show any interest in what i'm doing or asks how i am much anymore. He stresses over silly little things, although he is not abusive in any way.
His personality has completely changed and the longer he's out of work the worst its getting. I want to talk to him about his drinking but don't know how to do this. I can see its affecting his mental health but it must be affecting him physically as well.
