Am I just a dumb doormat for my new wife?

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for close to a year, and in this short time I’ve seen a side of my wife I’ve never seen before.

Although I met her during a period of sobriety, she drinks now. The problem is what she does when she drinks.

On one occasion, she was supposed to go to the market and return on foot. Instead I found her in a car with a stranger, drinking and high. She claimed it was too cold to walk and she was just trying to keep warm.

On another occasion, she got drunk and had a male friend with whom she’d been intimate in the past pick her and all her belongings up and left me watching her drive away with him. She later called apologizing profusely from a different man’s apartment and begging me to pick her up.

I could go on and on with similar scenarios, but my letter would be too long.

Her latest is when she told me she put a “code” on her phone so I couldn’t find out where she had been. (She had really just turned off location sharing on her phone.) She says she loves me with all her heart and there’s no one else, but I find it very hard to believe.

Am I the world’s biggest, dumbest doormat for not divorcing her? (I can’t just turn off my love for her.)

SUCKER OUT WEST
