 [ Symptoms ] what are the chances of hivstd as std can transmit from infected person to uninfected person through mucous membrane [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this it sounds to me like your loved one does have a problem with alcohol i base this assessment not on the amount consumed but the fact that he seems to require alcohol consumption every day and also the fact he sneaks alcohol and tries to hide his consumption from you of course the fact your family doctor believes your partner has a problem with alcohol is enough evidence for me unfortunately you cannot control what your partner does or how he views his alcohol abuse the only thing you can do is ensure the safety of yourself and your children i suggest you look into al anon which is the family group of alcoholics anonymous this group can give you support and guidance in dealing with your loved one is presumed alcoholism the fact your partner has not physically harmed you is irrelevant the wide ranging negative effects of alcoholism on children is well documented you should seek treatment in order to equip yourself to help your children trust me they will feel the effects of their father is alcoholism later in life again i am sorry you are dealing with this alcohol abuse is very common in society but that does not mean you have to accept it you can seek help for yourself and your children your partner may or may not choose to seek help at some point wishing you all the best
