Hi Bug,

Welcome to SR. I've just starting getting onto the Alcoholism forum myself.

Usually, people who AREN'T alcoholics don't have to go around asking other people whether or not they're alcoholics.

Maybe you could look at what your wife is saying another way: If she's telling you that you are MEAN to her when you are drinking, perhaps you could BELIEVE her and care enough about her to NOT drink around her or stay away from her when you are drinking. Nevermind that the nice and loving thing to do for someone who is trying to sober up is to not drink or be drunk around her.

And you could look at it another way: At least she's being considerate enough to let you know you may have a problem instead of just dumping your a$$. Have some love and respect for another human being, will ya'? Especially one who agreed to marry you.
