My sister called me crying cuz her husband of 15 years won't stop drinking everyday after work - he drinks at least 8 beers or more a day but is diabetic,high blood pressure and infertile... yes they have tried for over 15 years and this past September 2025 my sister had to have emergency surgery do you having a 18 pound mass caused by ovarian cyst si they removed mass plus full hysterectomy due to fear of cancer- she had 69 staples and huge incision from her chest past her belly button but she is strong and was able to go back to work after 4 weeks due to she couldn't just sit around thinking of now never going to have children with her husband. Now with all changes my sister is going to have to work in office 3 days and at home for 2 days but knowing everyday she comes home from work her husband will be drinking since he only works 8 hrs while she works 7am-7 pm- 12hrs... yes she also pays for home,utilities, insurance groceries all on her income cuz she can't depend on her husband to support her cuz most of his mom ey goes to buying alcohol... my sister told me she is done wasting more than 15yrs with her husband and just want be alone simply cuz she can't depend nor trust him to support her,cuz all he cares about is drinking..I told her to do what her heart is saying cyz she deserves to be happy nor does she need the stress of being with someone who can't even support her ..what yall think??

I mean you haven’t mentioned one redeeming feature of this man, so why would she stay with him?

I think she will end up as his carer if she does not get out now.

She needs to get rid of him, it's easier that they have no DC so she is not tied to him. Who owns the property they live in.
