I'm in an unhappy relationship. He's an alcoholic in denial, works as little as possible so doesn't earn much, but also does hardly anything around the house. Maybe loads the dishwasher twice a week, has hoovered once in the past year etc. I do everything else.
I work weekdays, usually at work at 7am until 5pm, then another hour or so in the evenings, plus work at home at the weekends. Work is consuming, which is probably why I've lasted this long, as I'm just too tired to even think beyond the job and taking care of the house. Just feel like I'm only good for cooking meals, cleaning and paying the bills.
He stayed up all night last night drinking and insisted on us watching a comedy show we'd been looking forward to, at 9am. I said there's no point because he wouldn't remember watching it. He'd probably had 2 bottles of wine at that point. But he went ahead and put it on anyway.
I know it's all crap and I want out. I just don't know how to say it to him. What do I need to prepare? No kids, joint mortgage, three lovely cats.
