Then she'd have known I'd lied about the late bus. I became embroiled in a torrid web of deceit and betrayal
No, she just hates it when I get bladdered, and makes my life a misery for a few days. I'm alright with a few cans/pints.
Secret drinking is not at all weird...all alcoholics do it. Just as all alcoholics make promises they can't keep. Trouble is of course, you ain't fooling anyone but yourself. Go to AA and find out what's wrong with you.
You need to get a grip Jip. You had a few pints and shorts, yet you are freaking out about the Mrs knowing. You are a grown man. Either have a sit down and explain you like the odd spontanious swally and she has to accept that and it doesn't make you Ian Brady or pull the plug and move out. Every human being should have their freedom whilst being responsible. You have allowed her to create the impression that a few swallys is evil. Hit her a square dig on the jaw. Sorted.
That's terrible advice. Ye should be helping him deceive his missus about his drinking, not encouraging him to stop.
women cant be deceived, especially not wives. you might get away with it at the time, but they will find out in the end i thought an experienced man, such as yourself gamby, would have known this.
Alcoholism? Depends if you are drinking alone or not (talking to Tina on chatbox whilst drinking is not drinking alone ) If you are out for a few beers with the boys, and hiding it, then you're just one of the lads trying to be sociable.
