Hi,

I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this!

I personally do not think it’s unreasonable at all to expect honesty from a partner when someone is dishonest we feel very betrayed.

I’m glad you have approached this topic with him. It’s in his hands now to be honest with you. He cant paint this relationship with the same brush as his previous ones . You are entitled to have a boundary around this so my only advice would be to remain firm with him.

I’m living in similar circumstances! It’s so difficult, I’ve been with my partner for 14 years this year and we have a little one now.. he’s been hiding his alcohol dependency and things have more come to a head and he is seeking help, I hope your partner does too.

The drinking being hidden and the lies of saying he wasn’t drinking really began to get to me. Honesty is so important and well done for raising that with him, my advice is he needs to want to own this and seek help, but you also need to remain strong and continue to ask when you think he’s been drinking and offer some form of support in asking what you can do to help him, get help xx
