Ask a Man 22 July '25: 'Can I make it work with a partner that's an alcoholic?'

Anonymous has been with her partner for four years and things were fine until she realised that her partner had a drinking problem and spent a lot of time with her friends partying.  She brought this up often with her partner but her partner would respond by accusing anonymous of being controlling and not wanting her to have a good time.  Communication remains a big problem in their relationship as they don’t seem to see eye to eye.
