Partner won’t stop drinking
Hi there,
I have just joined this forum and it’s my first time posting. I feel like I’m at a loss and someone recommended this page to me.
My partner of three years has a problem with alcohol, which he’s admitted to me. We’ve had the talks, he admits he needs help. But nothing changes. I’m at the end of my tether and wondering if the relationship is worth all of this intense anxiety I am constantly feeling.
He gets home from a night of heavy drinking around 3am at least twice a week, on week nights too and when he knows we both have work the next day. The constant sleep disruption is affecting my mental and physical health a lot. I’m disappointed that he can’t take responsibility. He’s 30 years old. I feel like I’m living with a 17 year old. This isn’t the kind of relationship I want nor do I ever want to bring children into this.
I suppose I just want to see if anyone else out there is also experiencing this with their partner, and if so, how do you cope? This is really wearing me down and I don’t feel myself anymore.
Thank you for reading
