This is so painful...I see why people quit and go back to the bottle. It looks like we're going to marriage counseling I guess.
As others have said, the fact that your wife is willing to go to marriage counselling means she has not yet thrown in the towel.
You may think you need HER love to pull you through. Guess what? She needs yours. She needs you to love her and yourself enough to drop the bottle. Dig down deep Hankfrank...your love is the one that needs to show up here right now...not hers.
You see why people quit and go back to the bottle? Not one ounce of love in that sentence. All AV. AV does not speak the love language whatsoever.
Wishing you strength and hope friend. We are all here...one's fighting this same fight with you.
