My WW and the Great Sandi2 Experiment - part 2

[Chris73]

Now I do not know if she was drinking a lot before the OM but it does create a whole new level of fog. It really clouds the thinking on many different levels.

My wife has always ended her evening with a glass of wine for as long as I can remember (except when she was pregnant), and I never felt like this was a problem despite the fact that her mom was an alcoholic.

But ever since her "awakening" (which is just her positive spin on what is really just a selfish phase) she drinks more. Two or maybe even three glasses of wine some nights. She's very good friends with our next door neighbor who drinks a lot and they go out together often. I have no idea if the drinking is out of control since I don't spend much time with her anymore. My guess is that it's gotten worse and it's very worrisome since she has a family history of alcoholism.

At one point before our separation, when were both still trying to work on the marriage, I contemplated the idea of asking her to give up all alcohol for a week to see how it made her feel. But I never got a chance to introduce the idea before we separated. And if I broached the subject now I'd probably just come off as too controlling in her eyes. So unfortunately I have to leave it alone for now and see if/how it evolves. It's a scary thing to think about for sure.
