FWN, you are completely correct. If you go back, nothing will change, and things will likely get worse. If you and your children are in a good place now, then it's a good place to be. You deserve peace in your life, always, and so especially when you are expecting a baby. Give yourself this.
So far, from what you've shared, he has a good job, and a lovely family, a nice home, and he can just keep telling himself that he cannot possibly be an alcoholic if he has all of these wonderful things. But maybe, just maybe, if he begins to lose these things, he won't be able to lie to himself anymore. Maybe not, but at least you and your children will have peace and be safe. Hopeful is right...if getting arrested for driving drunk with your child in the car was not his bottom, I fear what his bottom may be in the future if you give him that opportunity.
Don't worry about when you'll know if he is sober...take one day at a time, and take care of you and your children, and let him figure out his next move. You are in a good place. Keep reading and posting. We care.
