Alcoholism and the effects that it has on relationships.

Tweet

My fiance and I have been together for 4 years tomarrow yes Valentines Day awww. Any how he has had a drinking problem longer than I've known him and he comes from a long line of alcoholism from both sides of his family. He is really a great person and I love him so very much... But we keep having the same fight over and over again, he drinks too much and it worries me just as much as it makes me mad. I have tried talking to him, fighting with him, kicking him out, you name it and I have tried it, we are talking about years of trying here. So here we go. I don't mind him having a few beers after work or on the weekend, but when he drinks whiskey I do mind alot. He gets an attitude, becomes a real jerk and quite frankly I can't stand him or the way he treats me when he drinks whiskey. This is what all the fighting has been about you see. He doesn't drink whiskey very often but when he does its bad, never abusive or anything like that but he can be hateful. We have a 3 year old son and I do not want to raise him thinking that this is okay because its not in fact it is unacceptable. I just don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestions?
