I agree with everyone's previous posts.
He is trying to manipulate his way back to the way he likes things. All talk, and he is doing nothing to be healthier at all.
I moved in with my rabf; he said that if we were together, he wouldn't drink, and being completely ignorant about this disease at that time, I believed it.
Well, he kept drinking and sneaking and lying, and then said he was driven to drink by my mistrust of him!!!!! Typical alcoholic behavior.
The only way we win is when we take care of ourselves. Stick to your guns, and do not let him manipulate you. That's why they call it the Merry-Go-Round. Getting him to leave, I am sure was not easy...you don't want to go through that or put your children through that again. Keep moving forward, and if he is serious about recovery, nothing will stand in his way, with you or without you.
