Dear mam
I am sorry you are going through so much that too during your pregnancy. Please talk to your husband about how you are feeling. Encourage him to seek professional help. See a psychiatrist for an evaluation and management of addiction problem. Even if he is reluctant to accept that drinking is a problem for him, encourage him to see a professional at least once to discuss this.
All this must be quite stressful for you too. Please talc to your friends and family and seek their support.
Thanks
Regards

Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. I am sure you would have already raised this concern with him and asked him to reduce drink and be regular to home. But it didn't work. Right.
In such suitations, you definitely need to ask for help. Counseling is the better choice and he should be willing to come for it.
If not, atleast you take the counseling to find, how as a life partner you can try different ways to influence and change his mind from this habit and realizing the importance of health and family. Be positive. He will be alright soon.
Feel free to reach me online for further alternative solution to address such suitations.

Talk to your husband openly. Discuss your concerns. Ask him to seriously cut down on drinking. If he cannot himself, take to psychiatrist. When you talk to him, be firm but not critical. Tell him you are genuinely worried about his health. With the second child coming it’s all the more important that he stands by you and not with his drinking partners
