My wife is talking about leaving me. It has happened a few times lately and last Friday was the final straw. She says that when I've had too much to drink (which I don't realise) I'm turning very nasty and scaring the kids. Please help me to convince her I'll not do it again and will stop it. I don't drink very often so it is a major problem.

Angel ron agony auntThe thing is your wife cannot cope with you anymore she has had enough and wan s out of the rel;ationship you have made her very depressed and unhappy and its really not fair on her and the kids and its obvious she has given you plenty of chances to improve and you have made no effort to change. If you don't want your wife and kids to leave you. You need to recognise and change your behaviour and stop drinking and you need to do it sooner rather than later other wise you will lose your wife and kids for good. Any way on a more nicer positive note good luck happy easter ronxxxx

Stop drinking. Tell your wife you love her and the kids more than drink, and that you'll never drink again.

Find out if there is more than just this - how well are you communicating generally. Ask your wife how she feels about the rest of the relationship and then listen to her.

You need to prove to her that you can be trusted again. Maybe try getting some counselling or join an AA group. Even though you don't drink often when you do you are obviously an angry agressive drunk. That needs to stop, and that means you need to stop drinking for good. If you love your wife and children it is a very small sacrifice. Ask her if she is interested in having marriage counselling. Start slowly, romance her. Go out on dates, buy her flowers, show her that she is the most important person in the world to you. Let her call the shots and deciede when she is ready to trust you. It will take time but if you show her that your willing to change. I wish you luck
