Some of you may recall last August when I wrote about my Partner, his hobby and his selfishness. I was waiting for and got my medical diagnosis which wasnt nice, long story short, spent 3 weeks in Hospital having treatment and came home end November. For a while I was quite poorly and the recovery will be a long process but I am slowly getting there. My partner has been quite supportive and I think my illness gave him a scare. As my immunity has been very low I have been isolated and extremely careful when going out. Due to Covid 19 this will be ongoing and I am currently shielded. My partner is now furloughed and will not go out due to the risk of bringing the infection home.
Yesterday we had a nice day, in the garden pottering around and it was nice and relaxing. This all changed when he started to cook dinner. He opened a bottle of wine as we had no beer in the house (his tipple) and unbeknown to me he drank the whole thing and then started another bottle of Prosecco (not his drink). His mood changed. He then started complaining about the dinner, the meat wasnt right, everything was S""t and so it went on. I told him to leave his dinner and that he really had a problem. I decided to go upstairs out of the way. An hour later I heard him in the cloakroom being sick, extremely sick. He went to bed not long after. (we sleep separately)
I have been aware throughout our relationship that he likes a beer, weekends usually and if we do go out in the evening will have a few to drink. I myself am not a heavy drinker (been there done that during my divorce) and am now tee-total. What I want to ask is this is a form of alcohol dependency? What is the best way for me to deal with this?. I am planning get rid of all my bottles of Prosecco which have been collecting over the past couple of years as I do not want a repeat of today. He never gets violent when drinking but it has an awful effect on me mentally when he gets unpleasant. What are your thoughts?
