I completely understand where you are coming from. My husband used to be the same way – just a binge drinker, every few weeks. Now it’s become 2-3 times a week, and usually all night and then all day the next day. It’s become worse as a result of this lockdown as he’s ‘working’ from home and so think it’s okay to now drink whilst working. It is so frustrating. He is honestly the most amazing husband when he’s not drinking so it’s so hard to leave. Plus we have a little one and half year old, and I don’t want to take away his father. But I cry myself to sleep too. And it just seems to be getting worse, and he thinks since he’s only drinking a few times a week, it’s also not a problem. I don’t know what to do to get him to open his eyes to how it’s becoming a bigger problem. I don’t know whether to be supportive and kind, or to cut my losses and move on.

I understand completely, my husband is the kindest man when he’s sober , however when he’s drunk he’s a complete pig , nasty with his words and tends to get a little handy , his family don’t help as they like a drink and don’t seem a problem with his drinking , so the way I cope is I no longer talk with him when he’s drunk , I just busy myself ,go walking spend time in the garden , and when he’s sober and ready to talk , I just tell him how scared I am when he’s drunk and foe a few weeks he’s sober , I mean I have no idea how to cope with it all ,its just getting easier to leave , but then I talk myself out of it as its a scary prospect . Best advice I can give is always make sure your sage and never argue when there drunk ,find a happy place for 10 mins to keep your sanity .
