My partner blames me for their excessive drinking. Okay, that is an understatement, this person drinks nearly a mid-size bottle of scotch everyday, no exageration. We live together, and have been having major relationship trouble. I was told today that if I was not in their life then they would not have to drink. The biggest issue is that when I have a problem or something that concerns me, I like to bring it out into the open and discuss it right away, and try to find a solution. My partner on the other hand does not like to confront issues head-on, instead all attention is diverted elsewhere. Therefore, we clash all of the time, over nearly everything. It has gotton to the point where I am completely avoided, and the reason I am given is that I cause too much stress for them to deal with. But I can't fully figure out if what they say is actually true. Is it fair to take some responsibility for the drinking? What can I do to help my partner?
