She drinks as a way to 'deal', but always overdoes it. She is an angry drunk, and has gotten physical in the past. Once she even lost control of her bowels while sleeping in our bed. When we went to bed that night, we had both had 2 cups of wine, but after I fell asleep, she kept drinking. She has promissed 3 times she would stop withing the last 4 years. She has done OK for a while before, stopping for up to a year. Each time she broke her promise, we have argued. This last time we fought she pulled me down and I had my hand on her throat so angry that I wanted to squeeze (but I didn't). We have been married 5 years, but now I feel I can't trust her (with this issue) and I don't believe it won't happen again. I don't even think I CAN rebuild trust in her. I feel so angry that I have asked her for a divorce. She wants us to keep trying, at least stay together for 3 months and go to counceling, but I feel like I have given her enough chances. Am I giving up too quickly?
