just wondering whether i could gain financially from having a prize knob for a husband.

a sash of some kind would suffice.

I remember when i first married, my husband's relatives all talked to ME about his health and said I needed to sort it out. WTF? Bizarre but common attitude IME.

Sorry!

Agree with Trillian. Why would you choose to live with someone you clearly have no respect or it sounds even liking for? Life's too short.
My bloke sometimes is a pie and pint man but he makes his own lunch and chooses his own breakfast when he has one. We ususally do a healthy evening meal though and he exercises.
Let him make his own breakfast etc, stop mummying him and think about leaving him if you find him that irritating.
I could never be bothered nagging a man and don't get women who do.

2 bottles of wine a night if a real estimate is about 15 units a day. Even if you have a few from the bottles he's going to have a wrecked liver and is probably an alcoholic.
I really don't get women who choose men like this or let them degenerate into this without a "get your act together or you're on your own" speech.

2rebecca - yes it really is in the region of 2 bottles per night. Defo in excess of 1 at best but often far nearer to two. It worries me but as he says ' he does not have a problem' so what can I do?????

2rebecca · 10/11/2009 13:42

He does have a problem and is extremely likely to be an alcoholic with that consumption, he's just not accepting he has a problem. You can't force him to admit it's a problem but can just choose whether or not to stay with him. Getting alcoholics to have treatment if they aren't interesting is impossible.

So if he described you like that on a forum you'd be happy about it?
I don't get women who slag off their men in detail and then claim it's a "joke" and everything is OK really.
The alcohol stuff wasn't about your post anyway.

superiority complex?
