This is not an easy situation. I have been married to my husband for 5 years now, and there have been several occasions where he has drinked to excess throughout our marriage. It has caused problems in the past, yet I managed to get past it when he stopped drinking. He was recently gone for a year, and there were a few occasions when he drank to excess where he was. He even got into some trouble at work as a result (he is in the military). I was very upset, as it seemed that it did not matter whether he was with me or not when this happened. He did try to blame his drinking on me, and I almost left him for it a few years ago. We talked things out and I told him that I loved him, and I also let him know that If it ever started up again, I would not stay with him. Well, last month I found a bottle hidden under the couch cushions. Today, he came home from work and within about an hour or so of his being home, I smelled liquor on his breathe. He denied it of course.
