DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY time my wife drinks alcohol her personality changes, from sweet and funny to bolshy and downright aggressive.
Next day she doesn’t remember any of it, and feels terrible.
This marriage of five years is the second one for both of us. I’m 45, she’s 43.
When we first got together, everything was wonderful.
But over the last couple of years we’ve argued a lot, and drinking fuels her aggression.
She’ll call me horrible names and accuse me of flirting with other women even though she has absolutely no reason to be jealous.
She always says sorry later, but her apologies are starting to wear thin.

When she’s sober she says she loves me, but I’m starting to have doubts about our future.
I don’t want to go through another divorce. How can I save our marriage?
