Doesn't sound good. What else is going on in your marriage? Maybe you should go to Al Anon.

If you do go to al anon, and you really should for yourself, they will tell you that you should make no big decisions , like leaving, for at least 6 months from your first meeting. Also, you should go for at least 6 meetings and just listen if you have nothing to add to the group conversation. Focus on you with al anon, try it and do your best not to worry what he's doing. Can't change it anyways, only he can.

Yes.
He is basically making sure you don't leave work with someone else after work.

If someone pulled that on me, I would tell her to never do that again. It's a total dealbreaker, and unacceptable.

Issue? nope, you should help by buying him a cooler with ice so he can keep his beer ice cold.

Rather than drink, he should learn to read, perhaps. Then, a book will distract him while waiting.

My husband drinks too but I don't think he ever got a DUI. He can take his alcohol alright. He has no prob driving after he drinks. I would have driven but I got 'drunk' with 2 daiquiris and a shot of rum chata(?). He and his friends actually laugh at me. Well they know I don't drink.

I drink, at home, so I don't have to pay for over priced liquor and I don't have to worry about sobering up in order to drive home.

Doesn't make sense to me.

If you are asking strangers this question then you need to have your coconut examined...

Does he pick you up everyday?

Once a week?

Once a month?


Need more info

But, yeah, it sounds like a problem from my POV
