my DH drinks a lot. I know this, he knows this (although hes very much in denial about that).
he has no patience for the kids and at the end of the day will sit on the couch and drink from the time he gets home from work to the time he goes bed. I do 90% parenting and the 10% he attempts, i take over as he gets angry. Its putting a real strain on our relationship so much so that im on the verge of ending it. I dont want to live like this.
anyway, ive noticed some days especially when ive brought up the alcohol subject recently, he wont appear to drink. Like for instance, last night, i never saw a drink in his hand. He walked past me and i could smell beer on him. I noticed half a bottle of wine gone and the glazed look in his eyes. Is this what you would call hiding drinks? He will do this during the week mon-weds whereas he will drink openly Thurs-Sun as apparently it’s acceptable to drink on those days
alcohol is a touchy subject for him. Like i say, ive tried to talk about it with him but he turns the conversation round to me- im the one with a problem keep questioning him, im obsessed about it apparently. Hes always been a big drinker but i thought as he entered his mid life he might cut back a little , clearly not.
