Then talking about last year has nothing to do with the situation NOW. It matters not one bit how you got here. What matters now is where you go from here. He can lay his guilt at your feet all day long. It's your choice to pick it up. If glaring at you in court is the worst thing you have to worry about, then you are miles better off than worrying about him coming around, breaking in, and abusing you.

The past (his sober time, his dwi's, the chances you gave him) is irrelevant now. The future (his bottom, his death, life insurance settlement) is also irrelevant. The only thing that is relevant right now is right now. None of us can change the past or predict the future. Fortunately, it simplifies things immensely when we stay in the present.
