Today I made an emergency overnight bag

That is what my relationship has come to. Sad isn’t it?
H is not violent, I don’t need to escape him in that sense, but his drinking is getting out of control and I know that the next time he decides to get blottoed I’m done. I have already told him two weeks ago he’s drinking too much, amongst other stuff.
Today he referred to that conversation as me having a paddy about his drinking Hmm. So glad to see my concerns are being taken seriously! He’s gone two weeks without a drink and thinks he deserves to get drunk now-he will drink an entire bottle of his spirit of choice in the space of about 2 hours.
Having spent the 13 years we’ve been married barely drinking at all this is a new habit picked up in the last 6 months. He has an addictive personality and I’ve reached my final straw dealing with it all-so here we are, just sitting and waiting for the moment. I think it won’t be long-if he’s already craving a drink he’ll cave in the next few weeks-and when he does that’s my cue.

I seem so detached don’t I? Truth is I am...I just need the final push.

Not a chance he’d do it Always-for a start he doesn’t think he has an issue. I have tried to tell him that a bottle in 2 hours is not normal, and as I said above you wouldn’t even have known he’d had a drink-to me that’s not normal either. A 35cl bottle of spirits would have me flat on my back.

A 35cc bottle of 40% abv spirits is about 14 or 15 units. Necking that in 2 hours and still being fully coherent shows an unhealthy tolerance for alcohol. It's a week's recommended limit in 2 hours. Really, really bad.
