Need some advice regarding event tomorrow
Hi, all:
I need some input. My partner is performing at an event tomorrow, which happens to be at a winery.. He really wants me to go, and I want to go too. He is having some work and family challenges, and it would give us a chance to spend some time together. But a winery! Ack. And one that has sentimental value to us as a couple, no less. To be fair to him, he probably doesn't see the problem. I did go to Octoberfest without incident last week, but this week I fell weepy and sad and wine is my downfall. It isn't smart to go.
So I guess I'm not asking advice about whether I should go--I know I shouldn't. But how do I tell him? Even though we've talked a lot about it, I don't think he really grasps my issues with drinking, maybe in part because I did most of it in secret. I'm just feeling really stretched here. I know he will be disappointed.
