Thank you Alice. You're right. I have often twisted myself in knots trying to figure out what his motives are. I guess I feel like, if I remind him or give him a nudge, that he could make the right choice and change. Oh sure, I've "nudged" him in the right direction before. He'd attend a meeting for me, even did it for a week or so, but in the end, it was pointless. Probably because he was just going through the motions. So, it's better to sit back and watch how it plays out.

On a side note, I have realized, fairly recently, that if I ignore his pouting and don't feed into it, that he stops much sooner than if I try to talk it out. That was a tough one for me, because I'm always one to try that. However, if I stay out of it, then it affects me less and I don't become the object of his pouting and he isn't able to pick a fight with me.

This has made things much better between us. If only I had realized it sooner!
