Dear Dorothy: My partner is a drunkard

 Dear Dorothy,

I don’t understand why my partner always has to drink until she’s drunk. We see each other four times a week – two on our own and two with friends. It doesn’t matter where we go, she always glugs far more than everyone else. I get so stressed because she’s always embarrassing. Other people can pace themselves, but not her.

Yours Sincerely,

Roger

Dear Roger,

Talk to your partner when she is sober and explain that you’re not prepared to put up with this any more. Her excessive drinking is now making her look foolish and is compromising you. Ask her to limit her intake, so you all have a nice night out – without incident. If she really won’t accept she has a problem, ask yourself if this is the way you wish to live your life.

Yours Truly,

Dorothy
