bahookie, yeah, I was at "but, I love..." not too long ago.
So...he hasn't had a drink since Wednesday now. He almost did once but instead we had a (quiet) discussion and I outlined my position, etc. I have, though, expected him to start drinking literally any moment now. I'm not joyful or hopeful or anything like I have been in the past if he would stop...
Have opened discussion now via email with his offspring about this...which is good...
Tomorrow I have to be gone all day...there is dread of coming home to smell that smell on him...no doubt...but I just have to keep myself separated from it as best I can, emotionally. For now.
It's funny, in my last post on this thread I said "exist strategies" and I meant to type "exit"...Freudian slip I guess. Because it's true, right now I'm at "exist", until I am clear if it's "exit" or not, and until I have some financial ability to go if I decide to go. Which I do not, at present.
Anyway, it's temporarily quiet here, anyway...
Take care, all.
