Well, so far, when AW drinks until she's blotto, you

--will not set boundaries to leave the situation if she does not stop drinking
--will not set boundaries to force HER to leave the situation if she does not stop drinking,
--will not force her to enter any kind of recovery program in order to remain married, and now
--are not even allowing yourself to be ANGRY about it all.

I don't have any good advice that you're likely to listen to, Redd. You're driving yourself to increasing episodes of verbal violence, a bleeding ulcer, cancer, or worse, and if it weren't for a zillion hours of practice with detachment, it would break my heart to read your posts.....I am wishing with all my heart for happiness for you some time in the future, when you are tired of this endless rollercoaster. You're a really nice and smart man and you deserve better.
