Ahnee answered Sunday November 5 2006, 2:10 am: ok first of all you need to tell this guy he cannot be getting that drunk anymore and explain what happens when he does. If he can't do that you need to leave. No matter how difficult it will be on your heart or budget trying to move out. You always hear stories like this from women who are continuously abused by their husbands, and you have to realize you don't have to put up with it. [ Ahnee's advice column | Ask Ahnee A Question ]

Because if you tried talking to him about it a countless number of times..
Then it's definetely not gonna get any better by telling him again.
So talk to someone about it and see what happens.
I'm sure everything will work out.

If he denies the fact that he's hurting you, then you'll probably want to end the relationship. Having a good friend by your side is always a good idea.

Elcee answered Saturday November 4 2006, 8:55 pm: The best way to help this guy is to walk away now. He may be great when he is sober, but when he is drunk how far will he go in attacking you? Will it be the black eye, the broken arm, the kick in the stomach or when you are dead?? You say he hasn't hit you but it is only a matter of time before he does - he will not be able to control his temper one day whilst he is drunk and then he will blame it on you.
Only he can decide if he is willing to stop drinking altogether so that you can be a normal couple together.
This kind of behaviour happens a lot. I have never been in your situation - for which I am truly grateful - but I do know of others who have been. You are not to blame for his drinking and drunken outbursts, but you are the one who is suffering because of them.
There are support groups for the partners/children of people who abuse drink and they may be able to help you decide what to do for the best for you.
Tibiskus answered Saturday November 4 2006, 5:47 pm: You can not change him. He is an alcoholic. Furthermore, he is dangerous, abusive, and oviously dosn't respect you. My advice: Move out-you shouldn't be living with your boy friend anyways. Call up your parents and/or friends and see if they can help you get back on your feet. Do you really think your future children deseve a father who drinks and turns abusive? Do you really think *YOU* deserve a husban who will treat you like this?
Golden_Girl_800 answered Saturday November 4 2006, 5:13 pm: Okay, I may be 12 years younger than you.. but i am wise beyond my years, I had the same experence.. except with my mom. I was 8 and she had a boyfriend who was a really incredbly nice guy.. when he was sober.When he got drunk he threw me and my mom, around leaving me scars and my mom bruses. One night when he got drunk, { i was there} he came home, he ended up getting mad saying that i was always mean to him and treating him like a piece of dirt, my mom interviened, long story short he tryed to kill her, but failed, he broke her neck, tramatized me and her and let me lifeless and with a broken leg, arm, and rib bone. My mom was ALMOST parlized from the neck down, he is in prison for 4 years and this has been that 3rd year he gets out next year. Little things can turn into something that can always be forever leaving you into something you may not live through. If you are scared and feel traped.. sit down tell him how you feel and if that dosen't work, please before its too late.. end the relationship. For me that experence i was luckey to have lived through.. its a blessing, but you never know what will happen next. So get out and move on before he either kills you.. or hurts you for a lifetime.. Good Luck and hope i helped you.
