Liz if you go back to the beginning and read all of your threads you will see that nothing new was discussed and the outcome remains exactly the same. All you did was have a conversation-a verbal exchange. The exchange was you telling him how you felt about your marriage and family life and he told you he wouldn't drink again, he would still drive cars when he was out of town etc. Basically what he 'won't' do. And in the final analysis you had the same conversation about the same things as before with the same outcome. No wonder you don't feel better.
