A listener has opened up about how her husband’s excessive drinking has taken a serious toll on their marriage, leaving her deeply unhappy.
She says he often drinks to the point of losing control, sometimes urinating on himself and using vulgar language. Despite reaching out to his parents for help, nothing has changed.
Writing to The Best T in the City with Tbose, Anonymous wonders if there are any blind spots she might be missing as she struggles to save her marriage.
“I’ve been married for just over two years now, and our problems started not long after the wedding. I’ve had to deal with my husband’s excessive drinking to the point where, whenever he overindulges, he becomes loud, rowdy, and completely out of control.
“He often throws up in our bed and sometimes even urinates on himself. I’ve spoken to his parents and family members about it, hoping they could intervene, but nothing has changed. Last week, my parents visited unexpectedly, and he got so drunk that he used vulgar language in front of them before passing out – again, throwing up in our bed. Every time this happens, he wakes up the next day and carries on as if nothing happened.
“The atmosphere at home has become so tense, but I’m emotionally drained. I’m tired of repeating myself and telling him how much his drinking is affecting me and our marriage. I’ve tried everything – therapy, rehab, family meetings – but he refuses to take responsibility or change. I’ve now resorted to silence. I no longer initiate conversations or confront him; I’ve simply let him be. I’m out of solutions. What do you do when love feels like it’s fighting a losing battle against someone’s addiction?”
