Understanding the Warning Signs: Dating Someone Who Drinks Too Much
The Situation
"He drinks too much and won't admit he has a problem"
The Brutal Truth
He's too deep in denial to see his drinking is a problem, and that speaks to his inability to take responsibility or prioritize your well-being. His lack of admission means he’s not ready to seek help or change.
