Not from arguing but that I was destroying myself. I looked her in the eye and asked her if she was going to Al-anon because of me and not what she told me a few years ago. Her answer did not shock me. I stopped that evening and life became better for both of us. I pray that your husband reaches the same level of awareness as I did.
