I know how you feel....
by: D.A.

My husband does the same exact thing and I know how you feel. Until I read this I thought he was an alcoholic, but he's clearly a "binge or problem" drinker. I don't know how much more I can take...for the last 2 Wednesday's he has yelled at me for over 9 hours...have you figured it out?

I want so badly for him to stop but he just says it's his weekend and he needs to relax...well isn't it our weekend? What do you say to that?

Today, he put his hands on me and held me against my will in our basement (I was cleaning it) all while spitting in my face smelling of vodka. I said for him to get off me because I could smell the alcohol and he said I am not drinking. I can't take the lies and deceit and the hiding his liquor bottles any more. Then he asks me why I can't trust him? He doesn't understand that I don't trust him because of these little so called lies or whatever he wants to call them that he tells.

I feel like if I have to endure one more day like this I am going to kill myself. I can't do this.

I don't want to leave or kick him out, because the rest of the week is great. It's like it didn't happen. I love him with all my heart and soul, what do I do?

Drinking ruined meal
by: Anonymous

He managed to ruin our pre-Thanksgiving meal with the young grandchild. When he came to the table he was drunk, sitting there saying every swear word at the table. I couldn't get him to stop. I feel that I have had enough! The next day, he acted as though nothing ever happened. I am tired of his actions. One day he's ok, the next, in front of company, he is a monster!! He can cook his own Thanksgiving dinner for his family, because I do not believe it is fair for me to cook a meal that he is going to sit down and behave for his family, and he ruined it for mine.

Boundaries....
by: Anonymous

Dear C.
Concerning your comment about me setting boundaries for his drinking. I always tell him the next day how he has hurt my feelings, and that I do not deserve to be talked to that way. Of course, he is always sorry, and is going to try to do better. His idea of the way things should be done are...his way - he says he runs the show around this place, and if I don't like it, well, that's just tough! He usually does his drinking at home, although, some of it has been in public. Sometimes, when in public, he even begins to swear, and I know people hear him, and it is very embarrasing. If I don't want to drive him where he wants to go when he's drinking, he gives me such a hard time, I just give in-either way, going out, or staying home, he is so drunk, I hear his abusive talk for hours on end; so either way, he is going to do "his thing." When he isn't drinking, he is a good person. I believe deep down inside he would like to change, but he will tell me that he does not need any help, that he enjoys alcohol. What I am positive of is that I do not deserve his belittlement every time he decides to get drunk.
