Hello all,
I didn't really know where to post this, I'm looking for advice. My partner has a problem with drinking too much and also with depression, and although he is aware of both, there seems to be nothing I can do to persuade him to seek some help. He is more of a binge drinker than a constant drinker, but I am the one who ends up on the receiving end (mentally, I hasten to add, not physically). Things have been improving a bit in recent months, and I honestly thought that it might be getting better. He's been drinking a little more since quitting smoking, which I totally understand. Anyway, last night despite feeling really poorly I had a great night out and went home feeling fairly cheerful. But because of him getting into some kind of trouble with a barman on a previous visit to our local, he decided to fight with his brother, then took it all out on me because he couldn't sleep as the neighbours were being noisy. I spent the whole night crying my eyes out and am struggling not to do the same now, sitting in an internet cafe. Sorry for rabbiting on (no pun intended) I just needed to get it off my chest, and wondered if anyone has any similar experience or advice. Thanks in advance, BB xx

Aww hun im really sorry to hear that your having problems, bless you. Would you be able to talk with any of your partners friends or family and explain the situation, maybe he would listen to a family member or friend and go and seek some help hun. It does sounds as if he needs some sort of help, as its unfair that you have to go through a bad time just because he is drinking and then feeling depressed, bless you. Aww hun if you ever need a chat i will try to help or have a giggle with you, please pm me hun. Im really sorry to hear what your going through. Sorry if i havent been much help hun.xx

Weird, I am sure I replied to this but it vanished... Or I pressed the wrong button, or said something wrong! I only said thanks!

Things are a little better, thanks for the advice. The worst thing is you start to dread the weekend, or at least dread Friday night.

Awww! I'm not really sure what to say, as I don't have any significiant experience with alcohol related problems. My father is chronically depressed and I find him hard but at least I can just hide temporarily from him when he's in a mood. I hope things start to look up soon. ![:)](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/jsf316/smilies/smile3.gif)

Aw, thanks everyone. I've been trated for depression myself in the past, I know how hard it is. I've largely been avoiding the issue (and him) for the past few days. He was in a dreadful mood again yesterday when i got back from work, as someone had vandalised his car, so that's quite understandable. At least he told me what was wrong this time, which may be a step in the right direciton.

Thanks guys, it all kicked off again last night after a trip to the pub ![:(](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/jsf316/smilies/frown.gif) and I said that I refused to talk when he'd been drinking. Left him on his own this morning and decided to walk to the station instead of get a lift, which didn't impress him much.
