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.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person may try to convince him to see the issues or stay clingy, believing their love can change him. This is a dangerous path that enables his behavior and neglects their own needs.
