I am getting a great laugh this morning! I forgot I have actually done this. Oh, it's sad, isn't it? Though strangely exhilarating at the same time.

I never looked... honest. Once M boldly stated she found a new hiding place like she won some stupid contest or something. I just looked at her and thought to myself... you win. Enjoy the prize as a single drunk cuz I'm getting divorced.

I knew Id lost the plot when I found wine I had bought for myself and hidden in my things so as to not have it guzzled, in my own home, by an alcoholic living off of me, not working, and demanding I buy food he liked at the supermarket...of course I did my best to accomodate him and his wishes.

Holy smoke Id lost my grip.

I didn't have to search for bottles, because he left them out in the open; plus it never crossed my mind I needed to. I did search for "proof" of his behaviors - phone numbers, condoms, you know, little things like that.

My AH, the oh-so-clever fox that he is, started hiding his vodka bottles in MY clothes. Yes folks, between the nicley folded sweaters in my drawers. The kicker, and I kid you not, when I found them and confronted him, he said, "They must be your bottles. Why would I hide MY alcohol in YOUR clothes?" You got me. I've been mixing vodka spritzers again in my bedroom using my dresser as a wet bar.

The joy of insanity.

OK, I just spit out my Diet Coke. Now that right there deserves a gold star! I'd almost feel bad about sabotaging his drinking efforts, I mean he put a heck of alot of thought into that hiding place.

.....when I bought a $240 bottle of port for his 40th birthday and thought we would share it with some nice cheeses. My Mum even bought some crystal port glasses to drink it out of on my suggestion. Think they ever got used? Think I ever even got a whiff of that port? Think it even got drunk in the open? (you'll be pleased to know that was when the scales at last started to fall from my eyes and was way before my SR days.)




p.s. I didn't start this thread to share what HE did. This is about MY ludicrous stuff.

....when you are craving home made vodka and penne sauce and you go to make it and for some reason there is no taste to it and so you keep pouring and pouring and finally taste the bottle and it is water!

When you lay awake in bed waiting for him to pass out so you can get up and make sure there are no smoldering cigarettes left to burn down the house.......

When you fight to stay awake a little longer so he will pass out and pee on the couch instead of following you to bed where he will come onto you and THEN pass out and pee in the bed.
