When youre an alcoholic its not just a matter of "drink-then-bad-things-happen".. They can be "mean drunks" even outside of having a glass in their hands at the moment. Maybe its just not there yet for your husband and you.
I included you as one entity because you seem to be going along with it just fine when what youve described can really do physical and mental and emotional damage. Its a matter of time. His behavior is dangerous and not good for anybody including you.
