Husband troubles

Not sure were to start but here goes I've been with my husband 6 yrs married 3, he likes to drink a lot more than myself so l asked him could we do a drink free week once a month. He agreed but doesn't really stick to it he nos my reasons for why l want this which r l want to spend time wit my husband not the drunk version and like for him having a drink it helps me unwind and l feel closer to him. He,ll ring or message me and tell me he's goin to the pub which is fine but he says it'll be a couple of hrs and he's away to closing time, which in turn makes me angry and frustrated cause l feel lied to and like my feelings don't matter . I do try to discuss this wit him and almost always it turns into a row and of course he goes to the pub. My problem is not him goin to the pub its the frequency of how many times a week he drinks which sometimes is 3 times a week ( not always in the pub at home to ) and that he goes of the whole day every time. I honestly don't mind that once in a blue moon .l have told him that if it continues l will stop doing the things he wants to do as he's not giving the same back and l lost my temper other day and said if he'd went of all day then l wouldn't go to millisle with him so he cancelled it which was for my birthday, l feel at a lose I'm trying to understand were he's coming from but l also want him to realise that this is coming between us and l feel drink comes first.

Your husband loves drink more than you OP.
That sounds harsh but he can’t hear your voice over his desire to drink.
Do you have children? Because this is not a healthy environment if you do

No my kids r grown ups now thankfully l have said this to him that drink comes before me l no deep down he has a problem and he would never do a drink free week only l ask for it. He's happy if l do what he wants to do at the wkend. Every other aspect of r relationship is good but this is definitely hurting it
