Laurie you were right. It took him about an hour or two to announce that he was going out--mane to the liquor store, maybe to a bar. I let him go and called a friend of mine who suggested that we go out to dinner with her and another friend.
I was positive he would come home but he's been gone all night. I'm pretty sure he's at a friends house. There house is empty since they are on vacation and my husband is walking their dogs. But I don't know for sure. This is the first time he's stayed away all night and I'm torn between sadness, terror and a bit of relief. Icant believe that this has all progressed so fast (not the disease) but fighting and leaving. It's only been about three weeks since his got his job offer fell through and it's been downhill ever since. I am just heartbroken right now.
