Wife Can't Stomach Husband Having a Drink
Dear Abby | March 4th, 2026 | Letter 3 of 3
DEAR ABBY: My wife threatens to divorce me in most every situation in which I drink alcohol. The context doesn't matter. Should I divorce her or try to work out another solution? -- THREATENED IN CALIFORNIA.
DEAR THREATENED: The first thing to do is understand why your wife feels as strongly as she does about your drinking. Does she have a family history in which alcohol played a role? Does your personality change when you drink socially? How much are you drinking on a daily basis? Are other relationships affected by your drinking? Once you have the answer to these questions, you can decide which is more important to you -- the drinking or the marriage.
