I would consider that your husband is pretty far gone in his addiction. I am concerned about that and wonder if you understand the progression of the illness. It may mean that he is never sober long in between drinks to be able to recognize what has happened, it could mean that he is blacking out a lot, unless he was this way early on which would indicate a personality disorder, it is not a good sign. Read more about the progression of the illness and the signs to see what stage he is in. It seems like bad news. But that is only based on the information you give us.

Mine stopped apologizing when sober, but incorporated more rational thoughts that showed me he was thinking about things and working on changing them. In stead of apologizing he began to say things like, " you may be right" or " you usually know what to do", or " I need to work on this part of myself more."

Hope that helps you to sort out what you need to understand.
