Hello! New here as well. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it made me feel less lonely… less crazy I suppose. Sometimes i feel like im over reacting and that things are not that bad… but when he is drunk and taking all his frustrations on me (he doesn’t have any close friends, im basically all he has) then i know I can’t be over reacting.
3 weeks ago after a big fight while he was drunk, the next day he said he knows he is not using alcohol the way he should, a week after he had 2 beers on a Tuesday because he said had a terrible day at work, on the weekend he had 6 standard drinks and finally 1 glass of tequila with water the following Tuesday. He doesn’t get completely wasted every time he drinks but he gets drunk enough to start arguments.
today i came back from work and he was wasted, said he had a bad day, lied saying he had a non alcoholic beer and that it must have reacted with his flu vaccine … he said the doctor told him he has high blood pressure and that he thinks is all my fault because of the stress i cause him when we keep arguing.
im tired 🙁
