Ok, you don't want him to drink around you, but it's okay for him to continue his drinking problem in your absence? He apparently has a hard time controlling himself and his liquor and the liquor needs to go. As far as your 2yr old is concerned, if he is abusive to you it is likely he will be more abusive to your child. 1 1/2 years is nothing in terms of a relationship. Throw another kid in the mix and this relationship will go from bad to worse. Then when it doesn't work out and he leaves and moves on with someone who is more his type...drunk/abusive...you have your child in that environment all alone going through what you went through with no one to step in and pull him out. Think it through. Do you honestly believe you can't find anyone better. This early in the relationship it should be blissful. Get out and make a better life for yourself and the child you already have. Trust me, I've heard them all! I know you'll stay with him no matter what anyone tells you until the bitter end, so heed this advice instead. Tell him to go get counseling and give up the alcohol, find mutual friends who do not drink, and if he ever lays a hand on you out of anger call the police. Even if you do not file charges there will be a record of a call at your residence. I've seen many domestic violence cases and yours is no different than the rest. He's given you every sign that there is more to come. Do you really want your child to one day witness you being abused. Trust me, they never ever forget it and it truly does effect them for the rest of their lives.
