Yep, I'd agree not a single answer , my wife drinks. When I decided to quit I took the 'No matter What clause' to heart , so her drinking doesn't/can't have any more(?) effect on the lack of mine. It may have been easier had I been married to a fellow teetotaler, but then again maybe not.
I don't miss or resent the fact that I no longer get drunk, but I do get annoyed when she drinks enough that it changes her behaviour, mostly because I always find myself thinking about whether or not my reactions are hypocritical, given my history.
Push comes to shove, would I rather she not at all? Sure , but at the same time I can't/don't let it have bearing on my decision, that would be/is by definition Beast talk.
