I don't agree
by: Anonymous

I keep hearing everyone say that it is "his problem and not yours". I don't agree. If it is a problem for him, it is a problem for you. That's how marriage works. It becomes an "US" issue. If you care about him enough to do your best to support him, whats the big deal giving up those drinks you barely have? What's more important, those couple drinks or your husbands health and well being?

his sobriety
by: Ron H

It seems to me that your use of alcohol is jeapordizing his sobriety. He is not on stable ground and needs further help.I would hope that you do not drink in front of him,or come home intoxicated and get into an arguement over your use of alcohol. The less he knows about what you do with the girlfreinds the better he will be.
You state that you don't have an alcohol problem. Denial is one of the tools of an alcoholic to continue to drink. You may be a functioning alcoholic.Examine and question your own use and ask for help in deciding if you are headed for trouble.Many people don't realize they are in trouble until it's too late and their life begins to unravel.

No

It's your husband's addiction and he is being unreasonable to expect you to stop drinking entirely. It is his problem ... not yours. So long as you remain respectful and supportive of his condition, it shouldn't preclude you from enjoying a drink.
