I am meant to be going on holiday with OH on Monday morning to Portugal, but have had a last minute change of mind. My OH (partner) of 8 years is very controlling and has a drink problem - he only drinks at weekends as not to interfere with his job - but drinks 2/3 bottles of wine - so is out of it Friday/Sat evenings. I have got to the stage that I can't take any more of this and have talked to him and written him a letter to let him know how hurt I am because when drunk he belittles me and makes nasty remarks about my children 19 and 24 both at home when not at uni. Although ok with them when sober as long as they do things his way. He says he thinks the world of me and will change although I know he will not has said this before.
We are stying at his flat on holiday - I have been so stressed out lately at work and come home for a weekend to relax and have been stressed at home - this has made me ill - lost my voice and have horrible cold.
I do need a break but do not know whether I can face the stress of his drinking problem with him at his flat and the intense heat of portugal.
Sorry to bare all - any advice would be greatly appreciated.
