In my case he left not because of drinking but the relationship was bad, he just drank cause it was something to do. And I believed that for a long time.

After the "fight" we would work on the relationship until the next "fight" and so on.

It is progressive and gets worse as time goes by.

What starts out as him quietly disappearing to drink turns into him blaming you, resenting you, being abusive to you. You resenting him, blaming him, yelling, screaming whatever.

The more you battle with his alcoholism the more he will defend it.

And they defend it violently!
