Nothing is impossible to fix, and it will be easier with a clear mind. Maybe some marriage counseling?
Good luck to you and vent here when you need to.
Spouse is against counseling. When we did go, I was fresh out of rehab and sessions became a rant about newhope01. We kind of got into it today because I don't want to be around him and he can sense it. He is assuming its because I am depressed and he wants to talk about it.

He tried picking a fight a couple of times but I didn't take the bait. Just asked him to leave.

Guess if I was drinking I would have taken the bait... Alcohol may not have been the problem but not drinking certainly is helping.

Added bonus is there are no more liquor bottles being dropped at my feet to consume.
