London Girl Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Hi, I would be grateful for any advice. I will try and keep this short. My partner and I have known each other for nearly 2 years and we have a 9 month of baby. I have asked my partner to move out of my property as I am tired of his selfish, irresponsible behaviour caused by his binge drinking. He cannot seem to control his alcohol intake and when he has a night out he has to come back home late, buy high caffeine energy drinks to keep him awake and listen to music on the laptop until the early hours which drives me mad. I don't understand why he cannot go out have a few drinks and come home to bed. He is 36 years old and a father! We have argued so many times over his alcohol problem, once I left him for a night and he begged me to come back and he will never drink again and will seek help. He has been to an AA meeting once and a similar organisation briefly but he feels he can control his drinking himself. He was aggresive towards me when I was pregnant due to his binge drinking and I thought once the baby arrives he will behave more maturely. However, although he is now not aggressive he behaves like he is still in his early twenties! I have been so supportive of him and have given him so many chances. He does not support me financially as he does not have enough money, I do most of the cooking, cleaning and looking after the baby and I have reached a point where I have just had enough. I do love him but I cannot let our daughter grow up with her parents constantly arguing. Do you think I should stick to my guns and let him move out and hopefully give him time to think? Thanks for reading.
