Does anyone else’s spouse/partner still drink?

My husband has definitely cut back but still drinks almost daily. I told him he didn’t need to be completely sober and I meant it. But I’m finding myself getting more and more irritated with him every night as soon as he pours a drink - not because I’m tempted or I’m resentful that he’s drinking and I’m not, but because his change in personality is so much more noticeable now. He’s never mean or angry or anything like that, but he becomes forgetful, careless and unhelpful with things, and he can’t hold a conversation for the life of him. He’s just not fun or enjoyable to be around anymore after 7 or 8 pm.

I’m loving the journey I’m on and it’s not fair for me to force that onto him too, but I’m worried it’s going to drive a wedge between us. I love him so much, and I know I need to just have a conversation with him before things actually get bad, but would love to hear perspectives from any of you who have been through something similar.
