I have to say, I am trying to think of one thing he could have said in this situation that wouldn't have caused a resentment? LOL, just keep in mind he probably doesn't really know how to proceed in this whole thing. It's going to be a long learning process for both of you.

I find I have to spell things out very clearly.

The two things I kept saying to myself in early sobriety were, "I will not pick up a drink." and, "How can I act in a way that will support my serenity?"

Serenity was more my goal in early days. Avoiding conflict, minding my own business, keeping my mouth shut, etc.
