Hi,
I have been married 5 years, to my lovely man. Recently he lost his twin brother and since then his attitude has gone in a bad direction. It is gettings worse everyday, he has started smoking , drinking.

One of his co-worker phoned me he has not been working 1 month, he doesn't want to see a doctor or a counselor.

What can I do? I need your advice!

The first step is admitting he has a problem.
Before he can admit that he has a problem there is nothing you can do.

Hello
He is obviously deeply depressed, you must talk to him. Get him to see his GP. There are wonderful counsellors out there who are expert at helping people who are grieving. Of course your husband has to admit he has this problem. Good luck
