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.

Discretly move out and leave him there with months of rent debt. The prospect of becoming homeless should be a good wake up call.

Not at all. I can guarantee that, in his mind, it would still be OPs fault he is homeless. That's how my father is too, when I was young (and still living with my parents) we were homeless for a while because he constantly stole money from anyone in the house to feed his addiction. In his mind, it was my mothers fault because she "didn't know how to manage her money or finances".

Get rid of him now. He will drag you down with him

Wives like you need a boyfriend on the side.

When I was a kid my grandpa used to find my grandma's cash stash every few months that she would hide for rent. We would always get scared. She would end up turning the house upside down just trying to find money. My grandpa would pawn our stuff too..... The worst one was when he pawned my sisters flute, because she used to play for us and we loved to hear her play. Do yourself a favor.... Separate your finances. Lock your precious jewelry away. If his addiction gets worse, force him to get help. I'm speaking from experience.

You can't force someone to get help. If they don't think they have a problem then help wouldn't work for them anyway. They would just see it as a waste of time.

I swear that about 1k people just think that everyone deserved it. Like how the hell could this person have deserved it?

Time for you to... 1) Prepare for a possible divorce. 2) For him to seek help 3) For you to seek support from friends and family. It's a long road ahead. Good luck OP. My heart goes out to you.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't financial problems the number reason for relationship failures? If so, I recommend that everyone maintain their own account and avoid sharing accounts.

I see quite a lot of these posts lately. People, what is wrong with you? I do not think these things come out of nowhere and your so transforms from a great person to such an asshole over night. My question is, why the hell do you put up with these people? Why do you let your relationship get to this level? Dump em when you are just girlfriend/boyfriend.

This is the time when he really does need you the most. I wouldn't listen to a lot of the people saying leave him. I would start off by reaching out and getting him the help that he needs. Being an alcoholic raises so much chaos, hurt, and everything else negative. I'm not condoning what he did or on his side at all. I have seen this happen a lot. Him saying he wants a divorce could just be the anger of you taking away his booze and they say if an addict is happy with you, you are only supporting the behavior but if an addict is mad and hates you then you are saving their life.
