It's been too long...

Waaaay too long.

Ok, so I will come clean about the previous post. I think I need to get it out of my system.

My fiance drinks. Everyday. Well thats not entirely true, there is the odd day here or there usually after a big night out that he wont.

It pisses me off.

Now to be fair, he works - pretty long hours and never stays home sick, he even went back to work the day after he broke his foot (not a cushy office job, he is in a trade). It's not a problem financially. He is not violent. He still does shit around the house that is his responsibility. He is still a perfectly good father to our child. He's not hanging out drinking at the pub til all hours playing pokies and such. He is at home.

So he can't understand why I bitch and moan about his drinking. He gets quite defensive if I mention it and goes on about all the above stuff and why should it bother me if A B and C is done etc etc.

Now I am not saying that he is rolling drunk everynight drinking a bottle of whisky and passing out. But the amount of alcohol concerns me. I would say it would be between 5-10 beers per weeknight after work and more on weekends, probably starting around lunchtime. I know that sounds an awful lot, but a six pack of beer certainly isnt getting him wasted.

I hate the fact when he comes home from work, before he even walks in the door he grabs a beer from the garage fridge. He will take his beer in the bathroom whilst having a shower. Now this is disgusting to admit, but in the past he has even had sips of beer during sex. Feral. Let me tell you, if that isn't a passion killer I don't know what is.

He falls asleep early most nights, around the same time as our son, so 8.30/9pm. He will tell ya its because he starts work early and is tired. But on the odd occasions when he is not drinking he will be up til 10ish. So we are not really spending any time alone.

Now don't be thinking that I don't drink at all. I can get quite loaded when I am out and want too! But that's just it. I am a social drinker. I will not sit at home and have a glass of red just for the sake of it. I will drink if I go out for dinner or parties etc. But I can take it or leave it. I can quite easily go out for dinner and have nothing or maybe 1 if I am driving. Does not bother me in the slighest. I would say I drink maybe 3-4 times a month and the majority of those times it would just be a couple of glasses of wine at dinner.

I just can't wrap my head around why someone would feel the need to drink every day.
