Now...19 yrs later. I do still love him. He's in recovery but still treats me the same. Basically I didn't realize it wasn't the booze that was making him an A$$hole...that's just naturally how he is.
I wish I had walked away. I wish I had seen what my future would become and run the other way. I wish I had the courage to leave NOW...but I don't yet.
I almost wish my RAH would find himself a nice codie gf to get him the h3ll outta here and then I wouldn't have to make these decisions at all.
Re the bolded--Girlfriend, get on line. I've been divorced for ten years and I'm still cringing that I LET it all happen.
I used to wish mine would find another woman, too. He didn't. Nor would he eat the poison mushrooms. I got a divorce.
