when he isnt working he will start having a vodka n orange in the morning and throughout the day. when hes working he;ll have 1 near enough as soon as he gets home.

he doesnt get drunk all the time but i can tell when he is.

im scared for him as im sure he is damaging himself and i dont want dd to grow up without her daddy just because he likes a drink.

i have spoken to him about it before and he said that he would calm down because it was also affecting his sex drive etc

so far he hasnt cut down at all. when he goes out (sometimes fri,sat,sun maybe during the week) he will more often come home pissed and although he is funny at the time he can also be a pain n cause an argument. then lays in bed most of the next day complaining that he has a 'virus'

sometimes i think that he is only drinking because of me. i.e i drive him to it then i start feeling guilty

sorry for writing this here but think i just need to vent off. i dont mind if no advice is given because to be honest i dont think any can.

Wildcats, it does sound like he has a problem but doesn't want to admit it even to himself. Have never been in this situation myself but I do think it can be difficult to do anything until he admits to having a problems with alcohol. I know there is a dependant drinkers thread here somewhere, maybe those ladies might be more help?

Wildcats - if you believe he's only drinking because of you he'll never get a grip on it. He'll always have you to blame as he pours himself another. My parents' marriage was exactly like this and it was MISERABLE. It's no fun living with someone who drinks too much.
