hi transform-
what happened to no contact? he's taking you to family weddings? he's controlling his drinking? he's badmouthing OW?
transfrom, this is that slippery slope we are all trying to get off of.
i know it feels good when they want to reconcile, when they make a few changes, when they get rid of their other lover, etc.
but the bottom line is that as long as they are drinking, all those things can happen all over again. i know you even state that in your post, but i'm concerned that he is back in the picture.
i know you feel indifferent but i would guess that all it would take to trigger again would be another episode of lying drunken cheater to feel un-indifferent and hurt all over again.
how did he slip back in like that? why did you let him? he already showed his true self, remember?
it's a recipe for disaster, my friend. he's still drinking. alcoholics cannot control their drinking! watch out, tidal wave on the horizon!
