A woman has opened up about a incredibly difficult dilemma regarding her upcoming marriage as her husband is struggling with issues around alcohol.
She insists that he is a 'wonderful person' and 'great partner', but his drinking is becoming a major issue, and she's unsure what to do about their big day.
Admitting that she's due to get married in just six weeks, the woman claims her husband's problematic drinking can range from one to 42 drinks in just one sitting.
Taking to popular forum Mumsnet, the bride-to-be is questioning whether she should offer her partner an ultimatum.
She explained: "My fiancé is wonderful and a great partner. However, he has an issue with alcohol - when he goes out drinking he has no off button and this happens at least once a week."
She went on: "He doesn't drink at home and he doesn't drink daily but when he does he can either have one or two or 42 and nothing in between.
"He won't remember what happened on these weekly nights, on one occasion he wet the bed, and tonight he went home to our old house, I was out looking for him.
"At 1:30am, the new owners asked for his I.D. and then walked him home. He's now defecated somehow in his pants, got it on the bed and the bedroom floor, and urinated all over the bathroom floor.
"I feel like this has now gone too far. This is not the life I want. I adore him though and we're getting married in six weeks.
"I am going to go to my parents for some space to myself to care for myself rather than dealing with him.
"But when he wakes up I thought it might be a bit cold if I had already left so I'm waiting, obviously unable to sleep and on the couch to avoid the smell of the bedroom."
Seeking advice, the woman questioned: "I am trying to think of what I should do - postpone the wedding or offer an ultimatum that he either gets help with his drinking/stops drinking or we're over?
"Any advice? It's such a sad situation. I feel so sad," she added.
Since sharing, the woman's thread has raked in over 50 comments to date - with several people suggesting that the woman shout postpone the wedding.
Taking to the comment section, one person wrote: "I would be cancelling the wedding. My aunt married a man like this. It didn't get better."
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: "Nope, he can't control himself, that's not attractive. Either he sorts himself out or you're off, don't marry him."
