Small little rant here:
So my bf thinks it’s okay to drink 2 to 3 beers before he leaves work everyday, and then drinks about 3 more or more, when he gets home. I have repeatedly asked him to chill with the drinking especially since he’s drinking and driving. Being an emt I have seen no positive of drinking and driving. Not to mention he was in a wreck before while drinking and driving ( in his younger days). He’s gets mad and says I’m just nagging about it. But I honestly think this is an issue!
I told him this time he’s going to lose more than blood and a few broken bones if he’s keeps it up
@amyrachellem, we have one daughter( not his biological) and another on the way! We’ve been together for a year and a half.
All excuses. Avoiding the root of the problem. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemies. Its a nightmare being the SO to an alcoholic. Do u have children together already? How long have you been together?
@amyrachellem, he’s never been to A.A he uses the excuse of I’m Mexican we drink a lot. I do people but he honestly doesn’t think it’s an issue!
My husband is unfortunately a recovering alchoholic, the recovery part I use loosely because he still drinks when he gets to stressed, well lately rather than drinking hes substituting with food. They get angry and very defensive when you do confront them because step 1) admitting there is an issue. I am so sorry you are going through this!! Its so hard...has he ever been to A.A. or does he know anyone who has that you could contact for support?.
@deejones i'm so sorry!! I'm not in your situation but you deserve better than that.

@beth.hayes64 & @kacie.thayer1880, I told him if he’s not addicted he could go a week without a beer. We currently aren’t speaking
Definitely needs help since he knows you have an issue with it. Might very well be an addiction.
@deejones not to get to personal on a public forum, if you would like to talk more just for support or anything else I am here, I know difficult it is the deal with it while pregnant. Went through it with our first together. And if your on fb we can do messenger for a more private place if you want. If you've noticed its been getting worse over time it may be time for you to confront him on a more serious level and hopefully hes willing to listen.
