He just said he wasn't gonna state what she did...not that he didn't know.
I'm assuming he doesn't want to give away his identity....like maybe if he states her job...it will be obvious to anyone on here that may know him.

If you had to choose, which would you go with: her or your family? That's the answer.

He did kind of say what she does...
Also, I'm of the mindset that your family knows you as well as or better than you know yourself. If they got together to stage an intervention, then that's a pretty big sign that something is wrong.

OP: Run like your hair is on fire. Break up with her, functioning drunks at age twenty-eight move on to their next victim/enabler easily, she'll slip off quietly into the ether.
You do not want to mix DNA in offspring with her.
You do not want to try to "fix" her.
You need to totally break off all relations and contact with her. (no FWB, etc)
Your family is right and you are wrong, listen to them.
Before you break up with her, PIIHB while she's drunkliyish and yell out "Shazaam!" like Gomer Pyle when you release. A rusty trombone session for her might be in the works too. Think of it a parting gift as it may be her rock-bottom moment for therapy. You're doing it out of love.

You're 34. I'm sorry, but I'm 32 and if my family didn't like my girlfriend, I would probably tell them to frick right off.

You're screwed, enjoy the dealing with cops later on.

A relative married one and regrets it to this day - and I feel horrible for him. Don't walk away... RUN.

Tough spot.
It's hard to leave a fun, pretty, and smart woman. Most people from the outside would jump at the chance to coupled with her.
You've had the opportunity to date her, which in our society really means to give her a "try-out." Now you know her. Good and bad.
Based on your own reluctance, what your family has told you, and what you HAVEN'T told us, you should have serious doubts. BUT IT's SO HARD TO LEAVE HER!
Stick it out, if you must. But know this, as life progresses, picks up more responsibilities, stresses, and obligations... more often than not, we don't become better people... we just get worse at what we're bad at.
Be careful tying yourself to her. Good luck.

If momma doesn't like her, run. Momma will always look out for the interest of her boy.

I dont know what I'd do. I'm lucky that my wife gets along with my family better than i do.
But one half of the argument is that YOU are marrying her, not your family. Make sure you are happy.
The other side is, if your family isn't happy, does that make you unhappy.
I'm 99% sure my wife's, paternal grandmother hates my MIL (and probably rightfully so). Because of that, my wife's family wasn't as close with that side of the family and it shows. They are just starting to come around now that we have a kid and it's shocking to my wife. I couldn't imagine not being close with my grandparents.

After I got divorced, my mother never liked anyone I dated. It's your life

That's only going to get worse. Family and friends and her bitchness aside, do you trust her to quit drinking completely for 9 months if she's pregnant, and then very rarely for a minimum of 3 years after that?

Run - I married that girl, she's now 48 and hasn't changed.
Mine pissed in the bed last night, in the guest room, on a freaking Tuesday. Somehow she does make it to work everyday though.
Get it - Run

You will be an adult baby sitter for the rest of your life like me. My wife ruins every function we go to by drinking too much.
Including my company Christmas parties.
