I should also add that, like every addict, he gets extremely defensive when you mention anything that has to do with his drinking. Like, when I told him I needed him when I recover from top surgery, he stormed off and refused to talk to me the rest of the day. Didn't even say anything about his drinking! (He also pulled a no-show when I talked with a psychologist in order to get my insurance to approve the procedure, so basically he proved my point that I can't rely on him.)
