This is the truth of your relationship:
You are telling him that his drinking is a relationship deal-breaker.
He's telling you that your not accepting his drinking is a relationship deal-breaker.
You thought you were going to get someone who drank not at all or drank normally.
He thought he was going to get someone who'd be ok with his drinking.
Now you are at an impass. You are staring each other down, playing 'chicken'. Which one of you is going to give in? Or will neither of you ever give in, just spend the rest of your lives in a struggle to make the other one capitulate?
