    If you want to read what it’s been like with my partner, I’ve written a post about the 8 years together. Just click my name, and look for “my life experiences”.

    She’s said it herself, that she’ll rather push all the people she cares about away so she doesn’t hurt any more. Full well knowing she can’t cope without her family or friends by her side.

    My partner is alcohol dependent And it feels like it doesn’t Matter what you do they’ll find a reason to argue.

    Mention alcohol and it flares up a argument, done mention alcohol and it flares up a argument because it shows you don’t care.

    Mention anything to do with detox, Health issues she has due to alcoholism & etc will result in arguments. Don’t mention the health issues and your back to arguments because you don’t care, when you do mention it again she just say am not ready to tell you and she’ll tell you laters.

    Throw in lies and the constant shitty comments from her.

    But of course we’ll never understand each person’s reason to drink, but as you say if anyone knows anything am welcome to hear it too.

    Your not a lone straight up.

    Have you tried phoning a help line and having a chat with a professional?

    I know you rather have your wife by your side but the main thing now is showing your wife but mainly yourself that you can overcome this addiction and show yourself a better path.

    Chatting to a professional may be able to give you a helping hand to overcome or give you a insight on what to aspect.

    If he is hostile, I would suggest moving out and then help him.

    You can’t make him do anything. He needs to wanting to do it for himself or for you.

    Surely you can speak to his GP on his behalf, just to inform the GP that is is using and you are worried about his well being ?

    He might also just be in denial as you said. My partner has constantly pushed me away while dealing with her alcohol addiction. She rather deal with it along instead of pulling me into the whole detox, doctor / hospital visits. She says she rather have me get on with my life. Of course she rather I didn’t, she’s just stress and struggling.

    Sounds like it could be something like psychosis.

    My partner has went through days of thinking the neighbours where spying on us, drilling holes through the ceiling & etc watching us.

    She was drinking & stressed.

    Video chats and online chats are available with professional people, if your husband is reasonably then maybe get him on a phone to a doctor.

    Keep yourself safe.

    Glad you left a comment, it has helped me leaving my story for others to read.

    Closest I’ve been to leaving her was a week before putting down a deposit on a private flat.

    I find if you Are planning on leaving the person it’s best to Cut all ties, I was helping her with walking the dog, going to shop, talking to her when she needed and that weaken my resolve as I hate seeing her alone, upset, struggling.

    He needs to realise he’s going to push everyone away, if he continues then he’ll have serious health issues. As I said on my post my partner now requires pills for the rest of her life, waiting on a transplant list.

    You can’t help someone who is unwilling to accept help.

    As I said to another person on this, I was reminded that I only have one life, if you are spending more days unhappily Then happy, is that the kinda life you want.
