I haven't heard you say you love him, and for sure he doesn't sound lovable in the least. I have seen you say you think he can't make it on his own or get better without you.
So unpacking that idea - how exactly is your staying so he can beat and/or strangle you going to help him get over his anger problem?
I do love my husband. And he has not yet ever laid a hand on me. But I have developed with him a zero tolerance for alcohol policy, so that it never gets to that point where he will hit me. I don't think my husband would ever hit me sober, but I am not so certain if he is drunk.
