Well done new me! I admire your willpower!
Sorry to hear about your relationship. What is it about us girls that pick fellas that are lovely till they've had a few to drink!
Think I've posted this before but my Paul was like that. I've been with him since I was 15. Our early years were a bit of a rollercoaster. He had personality change. Never hit me but constantly picking rows and checking up on me. Not to mention spending all his money on booze. I could cope when I was working, but then the kids came along and we were skint.
Eventually gave him the "it's me or the drink" talk. He knew I meant it. We were in danger of being evicted for not paying the rent. I took charge of our finances and cut up his bank card. I gave him pocket money - something I still so! Sorted out the rent.
Fair play to him, he realised he had a problem and gave up drinking, cold turkey! With one or two blips at first, he's been teetotal for 25 years.
With him I'm sure it's genetic. His mum, uncle, aunt & grandad all had drink issues. Now I can see our oldest - he's 32 going the same way. Can't go a day without a drink. Says some really nasty things when he's gad a few. Won't listen to any advise!
Sorry fir the rambling girlies!
