Question - (24 March 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 24 March 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My partner a I have been together for 8 years on and off, we have arguments that have scaled into full blown fights in the past, we have three children together and when it is good it's really good but for years now instead of him talking to me he will find a reason to start a row and he has a way of saying something that he knows I will reataliate to, I've tried walking away when he gets in one of them moments but he follows me, he then storms out gets drunk and then for days after he is gone and binge drinking giving everyone around him hastle and grief becoz he wants more money to go drinking.

After 3 or 4 days he's soon back and hes sorry and it will never happen again (until next time which is usually 6 weeks later). The violence in the arguments have now stopped which I'm glad to say but now its happening more often, he is now going off every 3 weeks and coz i know its coming I just tell him to go and the thing is he will! He leaves, goes drinking 4 days on end then 4 days later he's sorry and wants to be a family again.

I'm at the end of my tether and really don't know what to do as I really do want to be with him (like I said when it's good its great). I know he loves me but he's said he doesn't know why he keeps doing this.

Not a good enough reason I am afraid. Can you not see he seems not to care. Get rid of him trial it and see. Tell him not to come back. You are clearly a lady with strong inner self and have identified so many issues.

Do not let him traet you like this you so much much better than this. I think you know this anyway as it is clear to me how much you have tried and made this effort, you let him back.

When it is good it isn't very good Ms it is crap because you know the same thing happens again and again. I bet you are a good looking lady and there is so much out there for you!

You know what you must do!!!!!!!!!!!!
