What would you do if your husband will drink 8 to 10 beers a day?

Question

Why is my husband drinking beer so much? He says, … “because I like the taste”. Okay he likes the taste but I don’t like him to drink 8 to 10 beers a day because it makes him lazy and very uncaring. He started this like 3 years ago, at first one or two bottles and little by little he increased the number of the bottles. I tell you the truth I am about to leave him because of this.

Answer 1

If you don't change the situation, he's not gonna budge. Being an alcoholic/addict is most often more difficult for the people closest to the alcoholic. His drinking is only a symptom of the real problem, but alcoholism and drug addiction is a very serious disease that has to be treated. It's really no different than someone who has cancer; they will die if they don't get treated. So many people don't see it as a disease because there's a choice the addict can make to improve his/her life. It's a "feeling" disease and those who are addicts are usually very sensitive people that don't know how to effectively deal with their feelings and thus turn to substances to avoid facing them. That's my two cents!

Answer 2

I had a similar situation. I am a man that drank. Mean in this day and age drink. A six pack is the norm for many. If he is abusive then that is bad. If you are just annoyed and not getting why he has the beer that is normal. Don't nag. I drank more because of the nagging. A lame rebellion or whatever i don't know. He could use another owlet to deal with stress. I don't want to presume but More intimacy is another outlet..

Answer 3

Its not his fault, the beer companies have deliberately increased the size of the openings in the cans to addict him also they are slowly phasing out six packs so that you have to buy 12 or 24 packs thus making you drink more. I tell you its a marketing conspiracy, intended to do exactly what it has done to your husband. I am serious, I know, I drink beer to.

Answer 5

To me, it sounds like he already is, or is becoming an alcoholic. If its been going on for this long, you need to tell him you dont like it and he needs to ATLEAST cut back or your going to leave him. If he knows how you feel about it, and does it any way, is he really worth it? I can understand..every once in a while coming home from a hard days work..every now and then..but if its affecting your family in a very negative way..thats not right. Confront him about it..and maybe look into some help..because it sounds like hes an alcoholic...

Answer 6

I would feel it is ok to say that he is an alcoholic and needs help. If he feels he doesn't need help and it is cause'n an problem, I suggest counseling.

I like the taste of candy but if I keep eating it, I will be unhealthy and gain weight I really don't want. It is find to eat candy and it is find to taste beer. It is not fine to over do it and not listen to someone else's feelings towards it.

Damage to his organ and damaging to his marriage. Discuss cutting back, couseling and if all fails, seperate if that is the step you find yourself going towards.

Answer 7

In first trimester, you've got intercourse yet in basic terms after having consulted your gynaecologist. i think of he watches pron to fulfill his lust which he, of direction, on the 2d can not satiate with you. that's ok as long as he does no longer make it a habit and could pull out of it to renew intercourse with you. The turn area of gazing pron is that it de-sensitises the guy from a common sexual come across. to boot, his theory of a appealing female physique, his expectancies in mattress and his tastes additionally skew/exchange. I take it that post-being pregnant, you will no longer preserve the form and the discern which you presently have. that's attainable that he could loose interest in you as he could get habituated to the 'suitable 10' female anatomy in the pron. You greater effectual pay attention! slightly it to satiate his each and every day urge for food is effective, yet whilst he crosses the line, step up and serve him some handjobs and, in case you fancy, blowjobs.

Answer 8

Your husband has a drinking problem, he's an alcoholic in denial. Let him know how this bothers you and tell him you will leave him if he doesn't do something about it. If he really loves you he will do something about it. Call AA.

Answer 9

I DEFINITELY THINK THAT YOU SHOULD COMMUNICATE THAT HIS DRINKING IS BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE CONCERNING THE MARRIAGE. IF HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS THE RELATIONSHIP TO WORK, HE WILL GET HELP. WHEN HE GOES TO THE A.A. MEETINGS, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO WITH HIM TO MAKE SURE THAT HE KNOWS THAT YOU'RE THERE FOR HIM...AND ARE STILL HIS #1 SUPPORT. I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU BOTH GO TO COUNSELING. TRY "EVERYTHING" BEFORE YOU JUST GIVE UP ON THE MARRIAGE. REMEMBER THE VOWS YOU TOOK...AND PRAY MOST OF ALL! EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FINE...SMILE!

Answer 10

I dont think it is the number of beers he drinks that is the problem...

take loooong hard look at the whole relationship.... and see where the problems really are..
