@@samia6888 Yup! The day I tried to leave for real, he got his third DUI, and I felt that was his rock bottom, that I could help him, take him to church, etc... after that. Surprise, he confessed that he still wants to drink after he gets out of jail for the vehicular assault- cause he's facing real jail time after injuring another driver this time around. This man used to make fun of me for crying when I saw him drive drunk and would beg him to stop. He was awful.

@@Cookieboy70 There are a lot of vows that go into marriage before the “till death do us part” one. One of the vows is that they will love and cherish each other … chances are if one partner has an addiction that’s severe enough, they are no longer loving and cherishing their other partner properly … and therefore the vows are already broken.

I left my husband because of drinking. I found Al-Anon really helpful and I'm not a group person. I went for about a year. Many people stayed with their spouses, but after that year, I knew I had to cut him loose so he could find his own way and live his own life. I couldn't fix it and he didn't want to change. Good luck to you and your kids.

😂😂😂😂😂 that woman is a joke. After I first got married at 30, I soon realized that my husband wanted to drink and go out every night. Sometimes on the weekend he went to work but he took his beer with him. He may have been going to the bar as far back then. After a surgical resident told me of her show, in 1990 I called into her radio show. At the time I was pregnant and my father was dying of esophageal cancer. I explained we were in our early thirties and all he wanted to do was go out and get drunk. Boy was I surprised when she began berating me, to the point she had me sobbing on the radio show. She said he's young, let him go out and party every night. I could not believe it! I had the phone on speaker because I worked for surgery and Trauma services at the time and some of the residents wanted to listen in. We were all shocked that she said that! Well, 35 years later it's just as bad as it was then because I took her advice. Our two children grew up without a father and although hubby works, he goes from work to the bar every day. Our son is an alcoholic. I am the one that does everything from our taxes to our maintenance, but now I'm thinking about ending this lonely nightmare. At least if I lived on my own I could do anything I wanted to my own house. Through it all I loved him even when he wouldn't stay with me when my father was dying and I was in my third trimester. My sister-in-law took care of our daughter while I sat in the room with my dad. My husband even had a hangover and didn't get out of bed in time for us to get over to see my dad open his last gifts. I have given my husband three surprise birthday parties but I don't even get a gift. But that's for any event unless I purchase it myself. He was supposed to come home from work to help with the grandbabies room but he didn't. When he came home I was sobbing, he told me the next day he never noticed it. So, I think it is time, more than time

She can't change him, but he can change himself if he wants to. I did; my little brother didn't. He's 73 so it's probably permanent for him. When I drank, I mostly just fell asleep. People who misbehave are a different situation. I still want a drink once in while but it comes less frequently, passes quickly, and gets easier with time.

Caller I would highly recommend attending an Al-Anon meeting. As crazy as it sounds, with the help of this program many people have found sanity and serenity despite if the alcoholic is still drinking or not. I'm not saying to stay with him or divorce him as that's ultimately up to you, but this program is definitely for you. Please consider this! If you are reading this and are affected by a loved one's alcoholism find an Al-Anon meeting. You are not alone and will find people in similar situations that offer their experience, strength, and hope.

Being with an alcoholic is very difficult. I left my ex-husband because of it. He was driving after having a few. I didn’t want him bringing me down with him if he got a DUI. I tried to talk to him. I tried to help and realize I can not. HE can only help himself. His personality changed if he drank hard liquor. He once slammed his fist through the wall during an argument. What if I was next? I also learned you cannot ever reason with a drunk. So I left and got a divorce immediately. I’m so much happier now.

Addicts never see that they have created the issue. I divorced (no kids) because he became addicted to pain killers. He got in an accident one night going to pick up our dinner and I knew it was a matter of time before he killed someone and I would be held liable. He had been fired from his job due to his addiction and had not worked for a few years. Divorcing him was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but you can get through it. You cannot make him get help….he has to hit rock bottom. You and your kids deserve better!

“In sickness and in health” if they recognize they have a problem and are willing to make changes, remind him on the way the condition alters his brain if he slips up, remind him he can’t drink and think. Remind him it alters his body chemistry and he can’t control himself on the substance. I got sober, relapsed 5 months later. My wife caught me a few months into it and drove me to a detox, but I’m a rare breed that knows I have a problem, I just thought I could handle it. I know I can’t. Gaining wisdom through experience, it takes what it takes.

I broke up with my alcoholic ex fiance. He got his third DUI while we were together (two before we met). He was a liar and cheater. He drove drunk with me in the car when I was pregnant. I had an abortion because I and the unborn were unsafe around him. I tried to reconcile with him, but he still kept drinking. We broke up, and then he tried to sleep with his neighbor. I asked for my things back, and he got into his third DUI accident on his way to bring my things. He hit another driver. I still tried to help him, took him to church, and tried to help him get sober- helped him find a rehab center, tried to help him find God and ask for forgiveness. He confessed that he still wanted to drink after all of this, after all the pain alcohol has caused. I think alcohol and alcoholism possesses people to be evil. His corrupt was morally corrupt. I had to leave to save myself. I want to meet a normal man one day and have a family. I'm about to buy a house this year, and I feel blessed to have escaped that abusive relationship.

Married 6 years, we have a beautiful 3 year old daughter and my wife has a healthy 10 year old, she has him Monday after school to Friday morning. Yesterday I had to work 10 hrs and needed to stay later due to an attempted break in. My wife went to a charity golf game (she’s never golfed before) she finished at 1:30, called to tell me she was going to get food with her golf team. I called her at 4 to let her know I’d be late, she was at the local bar. I asked her if she was drinking, she said no, but had just ordered a beer. I told her she can’t drink as she had to drive her son to his soccer game at 6pm. I came home at 5pm as my wife still hadn’t come home and my mother had been watching them since the morning and wanted to go home for dinner. I went to the bar at 530 and my wife was happy to see me, I walked up and she had a full beer, our neighbor who she went with was drunk as well. I looked at her and asked “how are you going to drive Carson to his game?” I tuned and started walking out and the neighbor said “calm down this is your wife’s fun day”. My wife came home at 6 after they had to get another neighbor to come get them. Wife went straight up stairs and passed out at around 630. Only thing she said to me, “thank you” this morning. wtf not even a sorry and we can talk about it. I told her she needs to apologize to her son and talk to him. Oh and the past weekend she worked at the bar restaurant until 1030 but didn’t come home till 3am.

Probably money reasons for many of them. I used to know a woman long ago who was a very high income earner and she was married to a man who was also very wealthy. They lived on opposite sides of the country for many, many years. She never divorced because she wanted to save face. She would talk about her husband and act as though things were completely normal. She never dated anyone else, she just didn't want to live her life as a divorced woman.

Hey everyone, can you explain to me what I'm missing here please? It seems to me that this couple is separated, and one of the couple is doing a very noble thing by keeping him on her health insurance. Considering he's already sick, and not being insured in the US could mean bankruptcy, lack of medical care or death, this seems to me to be very noble of the lady. As long as there are no new spouses, this seems like a good situation. They are living separately, the relationship is over, so I don't really see the problem with doing this one act for the father of her children. He told her she was parenting this guy but they're living separately for 3 years and the kids see him a few hours a week. How could Deloney assume the ex still thinks they're gonna get back together?? Also, Deloney totally ignored her query regarding telling the children about her DUI.

Don't worry about his medical insurance or any of his problems, because he isn't worried about your problems. You may have told him to leave, but he's been gone for awhile, maybe for the whole marriage. That's how alcoholics roll.

Third DUI? He should be in prison, not to punish him but to force him to become sober, let his robot brain learn what is like not to have alcohol for 2 ? years- psychologist should have good statistics how long it takes to retrain the robot brain. Why is the legal system waiting for him to kill some innocent family before putting him in prison? Third DUI, obviously, his thinking brain is now highjacked by his robot alcoholic brain and he will not stop driving drunk.

The judge will make sure she only has to give him a small amount for her getting the house. The judge will deduct $25,000 from his equity for alimony, the judge will deduct from his retirement savings, the judge will deduct from his equity if she drives a cheaper car than her husband. In other words, the judge will give her the house and now the husband will drink more because he lives above a run down bar. This happens even if the husband was sober and a good guy.

Not likely. She knows it could literally be 25 years from now when the alcohol finally kills him. How many drinks do we all know that are "old"??? More than a few!

Key thing to note is the woman saying "being the person that he is right now no", so if he stopped drinking she would return??? It amazes me that these people call into a show hoping for a quick 10 min answer that will solve thier lifes problems instead of getting real help. Geez

He didn’t hit her or cheat on her. They have some verbal arguments over his drinking so she kicked him out. When asked if she’d take him back if he cleaned himself up she said no. I think there’s more to this story and she may have something to do with it.

No. When you are emotionally healthy, any amount of toxicity is acceptable.
@samia6888
@samia6888 Год назад
You don’t need to hit someone or cheat on them for the relationship to be toxic and bad for you. It was something I also learned myself because I thought cheating and hitting me was the ONLY dealbreakers.

Also Alcoholism can be a lifelong thing, like she will have to live her life wondering if or when he might relapse and that is stress in and of itself. It’s exhausting. She can like leave and be with someone who doesn’t have this problem. It’s sad but not everyone can handle it.
