I have been with my partner for almost 5 years we have 2 young children 2gether and i have 3 children from a previous marriage, we lived together up until dec last year.
I had had enough of him drink 2 bottles of red wine a night, lying about his drinking, hiding empty cans under the cupboards and even getting the neighbours to lie to me, saying that he only borrowed so many drinks but in fact he borrowed more!!!
In the end i told him he either got help or he would have to move out, he chose to move out!! which upset me because that meant the drink means more to him than us.
So he moved out but it does not seemed to of helped, i think he is drinking more the other night he stayed at mine and he had 3 bottles of wine!!! i have now told him he can not have the kids over night if he carries on drinking, am i right for doing this, i feel very guilty but what if something happened to one of them!!
We have now deciced to just be friends which i am ok ish about, ive asked him to change his mind but he said lets leave it for now, dont get me wrong i love him to bits but how long can i go on waiting for until he does something about it?
Has anyone been through the same thing?
