Thank you so much for your response, Trailmix. This is very helpful for me to read as I begin to detach from this relationship and look at it objectively. He’s obviously been a big jerk at times, but this provides a bit of clarity for me regarding some of his odd behaviors, especially the part about him wanting to drink freely without me judging him. I was very confused by what he meant when he said he just wanted to do his “own thing” and that makes perfect sense. Can you recommend any specific reading material about alcoholism that would be helpful?
