Effects of alcohol

[treenu]

Hi there,

I have a question because I feel like I'm going crazy.

My dp is usually lovely but when he goes out and drinks with friends the next few days I feel like I'm treading on eggshells. He is sneering, sarcastic, passive and miserable. I find myself having to be extra positive and I hate it.

Dp didn't drink for a considerable length of time but has gone back to it over the festive period and has declared that it doesn't effect him like it used to. I'm noticing a pattern but have been told I'm wrong.

Could it be alcohol or are we incompatible now?

It may well be both, being told what your feeling or noticing is wrong seems really dismissive - would you want a close friend or relative to be living how you are currently?

If you're finding yourself on eggsells, whether they're drinking or not, its not a relationship worthy of you.

Hi OP, wondered if he might be taking something else on top of the drinking that's making him behave like that? I know hangovers are bad but, for example, cocaine comedown can make people particularly horrible in the way you describe.

Thank you. That was how I was feeling.

It just seems such a waste when there is so much at stake.

Taking some time away.

Its changing him & then you have to change (be more positive)

Thats not good. Dont paper the cracks.
