If you want this to work 1. You need to tell her that you care for her because .... (and it can't be because you want her financial support even though you might think that somewhere in your stone cold heart) 2. Tell her you want whats best for her and why you think her drinking is a problem for her (not for you) 3. You need to tailor your behavior to help her succeed. No drinking, more attention, more non-drinking activities together and more positive feedback not threats. 4. You need to be aware when she starts drinking and protect her so she doesn't get hurt or arrested. And that's the hard part because you have to stifle your disgust and do what needs to be done. If you can do that that means you care; if can't then you'd do better let her closest relative know whats going on and move on.
LOL I feel like Al's trying to live out an It's Always Sunny episode, and he's doing it pretty successfully.
do you love this woman? if so you have to try to help her kick her drinking habit.. threatening to cheat is not the way to go about doing it... has she considered going to AA?
I apologize if it was buried in this thread somewhere, but this thread reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg bit about alcoholism. Mitch says that alcoholism is the only disease in which people will yell at you.... "Dammit, Jim, you're an alcoholic!" You never seem to hear, "Dammit, Jim, you have loopus!"
