Thank you for posting, and I’m really sorry you’re in this situation. The only way he will change is if he decides he wants to change. I was a heavy binge drinker for 32 years. I destroyed 2 marriages, and almost my third. No amount of begging or pleading from my husbands nor my family is what convinced me to follow a sober path. You’re an adult, and have to make your own decisions, but if I were in your shoes, I’d leave. Alcohol is one thing, but he has another addiction as well. Plus, cheating for me is a deal breaker. I think you know what you want to do, but were maybe seeking reassurance by posting. You sound like a very intelligent and successful woman. Please don’t let him drag you down into his issues. Perhaps he will get help one day, and the two of you will meet up again. What he’s doing isn’t safe for you though. What if he brings home an STD? Please take care of yourself.
