Hi, sheila. So, he doesn't love you more than his alcohol. That is what he's saying. Has this man been in rehab yet?
His messages to you sound like BS. WHy don't you just respond to him with, "If you love me, and want to save your health, you WILL stop drinking. Period. If you need guidance and a ride to the detox center, I will help you. If not, don't contact me again".
Do NOt help the drunk. If he falls in a ditch, do not help him. If he gets a DUI, don't help him. Just let the police come take him to jail. If you find him comatose and in a drunken stupor, call the ambulance. The rest is up to him. Don't let him back into your life until he goes to rehab and deny him sex.
