Husband is heavy drinker and l can see him getting dementia as he keeps asking the same questions in a short time frame. He does not remember the next day. He knows how upset it makes me and how it is ruining our marriage but he is determined not to give up. When he doesn’t drink he is a nice but fairly miserable bloke. He has a broken damaged soul so just doesn’t care but it is tough on me. What can l do?

I'm really sorry you're going through this. It sounds incredibly tough.

 

If your husband isn’t ready to change, you might need to focus on your own well-being first.

 

Consider reaching out to a therapist or support group to help you cope and make decisions about your next steps.

 

If you feel safe doing so, having an honest conversation with him about how his drinking affects you might also help.

 

Remember, taking care of yourself is important too.
