Usually that would mean some sort of compromise, not one person telling the other what they should do. If the relationship is good except for the one thing it seems foolish to walk out without trying to solve the problem.

Having said the above, I grew up in a house with an abusive alcoholic father. I would not be comfortable in a relationship with someone who had a drink or two a night, but it would have ended a relationship before we got to the "common law partner" stage.

Hello Lying Heart,

You might want to discuss it with your significant other when he is not drinking or buzzed, which means not discussing it with him after work.


I think you are living together. If he continues to drink every day (whether it be at home or away from home), it is time to consider moving on without him.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
