    Grrr, hate it where some sites require so much of you before being able to post something decent, and then they can't follow their own blinking rules in letting people post....shows i shouldn't bother going near ANY forum for writers (has kinda proven most are an arrogant lot!)

  • excellent news tig xxxx

    Spud - i was with a heavy drinker for 13 years.

    Towards the end (last 2-3 years) he got pretty nasty with me (physically) twice as well as the nightly scowling, nasty looks and generally being a 'horrible drunk'.

    I tried every angle to help him but down but it just didn't work. I was nice, I was harsh, I said 'please cut down', I mentioned his health, I mentioned the cost, I went out (a lot) so I wasn't the problem, I stayed in (because going out was the problem), I told him to buy expensive but cherish, I cried........none of it helped. He didn't even know he had been that awful to me until I told him the next day. He was mortified. He said he'd cut down. He didn't.

    It's part of the reason we split (as well as money) and although he has cut back, he is probably still on a bottle of wine per night. He's a lovely guy, really lovely, but I'm afraid drink is his mistress :(
