Today, my husband finally admitted that he squandered the last three months of my share of the rent on booze. He then blamed me, demanded more money, asked for a divorce, and stormed out. When he returned he asked, "How am I the bad guy?" FML

I could name plenty of reasons he's the bad guy.

Addiction (I would assume) can unfortunately do that. It's a terrible thing to have to deal with for everyone involved.

This is spooky because this sounds so much like my ex husband. He used that phrase almost verbatim, but he would say, "I'm tired of always being the bad guy." How about you stop doing shitty things! And he too would waste my money (I was the only one working) on alcohol and then demand MORE money from me because he hadn't bought groceries or what have you. If I argued, he'd demand a divorce and leave, saying he was never coming back, but then come back anyway because I was his meal ticket. Give him a divorce like he wants. You will be much happier without that deadbeat. Believe me. I know from experience.

we dont know his perspective so no one can say hes the bad guy rly

He can't see why he's the bad guy because his judgment is clouded. Have a conversation with him and find out if he wants to get help. In the meantime, take control of your finances. Don't run away just because things are difficult right now. Your husband needs you.

Why do you have a share of the rent if you are married at that point you just pay the bills there are no parts

I feel bad for you since you are married to him. But to be honest if he asked for a divorce don't waste your time! You only got one life.

My reply, how are you the good guy? If someone else did what you do to me, you'd beat them, but not when you do it? Give him a chance but if there's not any real change soon, fly far and fast!!!

Typical alcoholist behaviour. I feel bad for you :/
