Hi Hatty20
I saw this and it instantly made me think of my situation!
Now.. I’m in your boyfriends situation…
My boyfriend is trying to get me to cut down, I was drinking very heavily at the start of the year, and since then, he’s helped me and I’m drinking more than half of what I used too.
I still like to ‘have a drink’ & sometime get a bit tipsy etc, but nothing like what I used to drink!
Recently, if i do have a drink, he’s started to be disappointed, start arguments and as you say ‘get frustrated’ with me, its started to take its toll and we argue a lot!
I just want him to ‘leave me alone’ & ‘stop pressuring me’ into doing things, I’m almost feeling like its him trying to control me, even though I’m doing better!
I think you should ease up, if he’s sticking to his drinking less, and not drinking like he was 6 months ago, and also, if you think he has the willpower to carry on not drinking excessively, even when he does have a few and go back to a bad habit.. ease up and give him the time of day, its a hard situation to be in, especially if he’s always been used to drinking heavily.
