Women do that. And inform her You're not an alcoholic you're a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.

If your wife thinks you have a problem...you probably have a problem. Cut back the alcohol and downs more time with your wife. Honestly her saying that is an early warning sign that she’s thinking about leaving.

Not enough details to the story.

To me, sitting on the patio with a fire, a glass of wine, and music playing while I chat with my SO is probably the single greatest thing in life. I can't imagine saying no to him asking me to come hang out with him and do that on a beautiful Halloween Saturday night. Hell, I'm usually out there before he is.

But for all I know, you might be one of those people that isn't nice to be around once you're drunk and maybe you really do have a problem with drinking too much?

I'd have to hear her side.

it's halloween. She's inside watching crap on Netflix and I'm out in the backyard on my 6th vodka soda burning stuff in the fire pit and listening to music. I keep trying to get her to come hang out, but I'm getting told I drink too much. She's lost all sense of fun


So, it kinda sounds like she wants to watch Netflix.

You might be an alcoholic. None of us can tell you. You don't need a guideline, you just sort of know. Even if you aren't "an alcoholic", if you're feeling guilty or in denial about you're drinking, you need to reflect.

I know this is a thread blowing off steam, but I'd have a look in the mirror. I realized I had an issue when my need to drink was louder than my want to drink. I wasn't "an alcoholic" but I could see having a real problem in the future id I didn't do something about it at that point.

I don't think there is anything wrong with someone having a drink, even if they are out of control. But you owe it to yourself to at least be honest about the situation.

This is fun maybe one night a year to people who are not alcoholics.

You should just switch to pain pills. Problem solved.

Are you wearing your mask? Might be the reason she didn’t want to come outside

This is part of her exit strategy. She's been thinking about divorcing you for some time now. Just letting you know so you're not surprised later.

I wonder how he feels about this thread today. I haven’t gone back and read the entire thing to see if he replied in it.

If he’s filled with the dread, regret, remorse and anxiety that I had after a bender, he may indeed have a problem.

Does he still think it was fun and she missed out or does he feel like an idiot and wishes he just went and watched Netflix instead. I guess that’s the question.

Wait.

You are complaining that she is leaving you alone?
