i dont think its childish, jealousy. For me at least, he was so used to me sitting with him while he drank. I do have some sympathy in that regard, as while I lost my husband to alcohol he also lost me in a way too. In some sense it is also a loss of "control" or his own life and maybe me too. I use the term loosely with regards to me. I know he did hate one of my friends at this point. I think he thought she caused all of our problems.
