My husband goes out binge drinking. He returns home 2, 3 even 5am completely wasted. Just to give you an idea of frequency, over the last 11 weeks he's been out approximately 8 times drinking heavily. He has been out other times as well but returned at a reasonable time and not overly drunk, but the majority of times he gets completely out of it . The day after he is completely useless and I have to pick up the slack regarding our son. He mainly goes out on Friday nights after work so he misses all of Sat morning, time he could be spending with me and our son. The latest occasion being Thursday evening when he returned 5am on Friday - he was due to look after our son as I had to work but I didn't feel comfortable leaving my son alone with him because I couldn't wake him up properly, so I had to take him to work with me. Because he is not drinking everyday he claims he doesn't have a drinking problem. But I think he is a 37 year old man with a 5 year old son who should have outgrown this by now. He has no recollection of how he gets home, he misses his stop on the train, loses things, gets aggressive with people... These are only the things he tells me about so god know what else he gets up to. I have tried to make him see that his drinking is impacting my life and in turn our sons life, he seems to understand when we chat about it the next day, but a week or so later the same thing will happen, this has been going on for years. I'm so worn down by it, but also because it has become the 'norm' for me I'd appreciate other peoples perspective. Would you leave a relationship because of the above?
