Let me preface this by saying that leaving is not an option. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and just don’t see this as a reason to end a marriage before it starts. I’m really looking for advice on how to fix this. My fiancé drinks like no one I’ve ever met. It’s not every day, but when he does drink, he drinks to get drunk. This wouldn’t be an issue for me except for 2 things: 1) He gets drunk when it’s just him and our daughters, and 2) When he drinks, his temper gets worse and we fight. The first couple of times he got drunk around me, I didn’t know how to handle it and it escalated and he said and did some really mean things. This has caused me to experience a feeling of anxiety every time I know he’s drinking, which doesn’t help matters. Because I know he can’t just have a couple of beers to relax, he’ll either drink an entire six pack on an empty stomach in a matter of an hour or mix with hard liquor and ends up slurring and just drunk. He works 12 hour shifts 3 days a week and uses that as an excuse for his drinking sometimes, which I get. But I just don’t see the necessity in drinking that much. Especially when it’s a weekday and he’s home with our two daughters, ages 8 and 4. I feel like that exhibits a total lack of responsibility and if something were to happen, he wouldn’t be able to respond and react because of the alcohol. I’ve voiced this concern several times to him and he tends to make excuses that ultimately end with a response to try to tone it down on the drinking, but nothing ever changes. Am I being totally unreasonable, expecting him to hold off on drinking until our girls are in bed and not drink so much that he gets in a mood and starts a fight with me? I am looking for some advice on how to handle this and either correct my thinking or his behavior. What do I do?
