The column handles a sensitive issue where one partner, Sober Significant Other, is uncomfortable with their girlfriend Bethany's drunken behavior, particularly regarding consent during intimate moments. They express concern as Bethany is often belligerent when refused and later wakes up with no memory of her actions. The advice given suggests open communication and a gentle approach to addressing Bethany's relationship with alcohol, while stressing the importance of consent and the potential consequences of her actions on their relationship.
You're within your rights, at any time and for any reason, to tell your partner that a behavior bothers you enough that you will leave if it doesn't change.
People who wake up three to four times per month with no recollection of their behavior while drunk are often resistant to changing this habit.
