"He said what he was going to do about sorting it out"
Iwant, hasn't he been talking about this every weekend? All he is doing IS TALKING. Hun... he isn't going to do anything about it. When he talks about what he is GOING to do to sort himself out, it sounds hopeful, doesn't it and he knows that by saying this, it gets you off his back.
"Only thing I can say is that I've progressed and handle these things better-I am stronger and not so devestated every time he drinks.
Honestly, Iwant....do you know how long you are willing to allow this in your life? What if you progress to not getting angry enough?
Have you thought about seeing a therapist yourself once a week in order to determine what is within you....to allow such a relationship in your life. It wasn't until I sought therapy that I was able to understand myself and make changes in my life.
