(I hope I haven't double posted this.) But he's never made an attempt to hide the drinking, not since I met him, because he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. It's bothered me ever since I noticed how frequently it was happening, but because I love him, I tried to tell myself to be okay with it, that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was and that I felt fearful of it due to my anxiety disorder. It wasn't until recently when I started expressing my concerns and frustration to him about his drinking that his answers, or lack of answers, started to really panic me.
