Are you in favor of your husband drinking?

My hubby drinks a lot. He keeps telling me that it is just natural for men to drink but I doubt it. I am pregnant right now and I feel that it's too inconsiderate for him to keep drinking while I am having troubles with my pregnancy. I hardly get enough sleep when he drinks as he would often stay up too late and wake me and a lot of times he does things that he couldn't even remember the next day, which is just sad as sometimes he becomes abusive. I already discussed this problem to him when he's sober but he just wouldn't stop. What will I do to keep him from drinking? I think he's too alcoholic already. And he hates the idea of rehab.

i hate to say it but if your husband continues to drink like this you should leave him not forever but he needs help. you are bringing a beautiful child into this world. that is something your child does not need. That is why kids are always in therapy. it is your life, but this child should be your number one priority and you can not care for this child properly with abuse in your life. Check your phone book their should be a hot line for abuse. They can help

I think thst you should leave him if he is being abusive to you while you are pregnant.My husband drinks too but he can control it and when he feels that he has had enough he stops.Your husband need therapy to try snd get ahold of his problem.Ask him if he will do it for your childs sake if not your own.if he doesnt respond the way you need him to or the way you want then I think you should file for a separation from him.You do not need to bring a helpless child into that kind of atmosphere.
