Well, sometimes if we've hurt people or scared them it can take them a while to recover. And letting him vent isn't that same as apologising or offering amends, but you may not be ready for that yet.

Maybe he's worried you'll drink again and it could happen again. It might be worth trying to understand how he feels if you want to be able to work past this together.
