I’m starting a new thread because I have a specific question.
When things are normal, and your partner/spouse is sober… How do you act? Do you love on him? Do you keep up the distance you had when he was drinking and you are angry? I ask because my alcoholic husband that is now slipping back into drinking but seems to pick and choose when he does it. I have only been around him twice in the last few months when he’s been drinking, but I know he’s drinking when he goes other places here and there. That infuriates me that he’s drinking at all. For instance, Thanksgiving he drank and from what I could see he has been sober since. I have been so angry with him that I have been cold and distant and now it’s eating me alive and taking over my whole life and all of my happiness. So in the in between places when they are sober, do you let go and act normal and loving? I don’t want to hate my husband 24/7.
