Normies don't wish and hope for things like getting a DUI, getting the car repossessed, going to jail, getting fired because maybe it will be their wake up call. Then when one or more said things do actually happen, it has no effect!

He still drinks everyday and has an excuse why all these events were not his fault and not proof that he is an alcoholic.

7. Normies don't go through the trash after someone else volunteers to take it out, to see if there are 'empties' buried in the mix.
8. Normies don't wait for their partner to go to bed to do no. 7 at night with a flashlight at times.
9. Normies don't wait till their partner is asleep to go check under the seats and in the truck of the other's car.
10. Normies don't leave empty, hidden vodka bottles they've found, on the counter to say, "Ah Hah, I KNEW you were drinking!" after they've been made to feel like they're crazy and just imagining things.

.Here's just a funny story about a lying alcoholic who routinely pees in drinking glasses because 50 feet is to far to walk to the toilet. Already funny, no? So, codie partner walls into kitchen & sees A partner at the sink & looking suspicious...
Codie: What are you doing?
AP: Nothing, just fixing dinner.
Codie: Okay. [Stand and waits a few minutes]
AP: [Turns to walk toward stove with privates sticking out of pants]
Codie: Why is your ***** sticking out of your zipper?
AP: [Looks down in overdone "surprise"] Whoa! How did that happen?!
Oh my Gawd.

Normies wouldn't have to throw up first thing in the morning in the kitchen sink because they took a swig of what looked like grapefruit juice......AH had poured a strong vodka in a glass with a dash of grapefruit juice. Silly me thought he had been thoughtful enough to pour me a juice for breakfast Ugh!

<not me, but still> Normies don't wait for their AH to fall asleep in a drunkin' stupor so they can beat him with the broom handle without him waking up..... "Man, I'm sore...musta gotten into a fight at the bar again last night....." - is insanity contagious?

Yep Johnny152 the gratitude has been overwhelming from AH..he sent another text 'I never want to see you again' so that he can order weekly 8 bottles of vodka and 8 bottles of fizzy wine from home delivery to his new flat...stuff his job and the rehab was in his words 'never a long term option' nice way to end our marriage!

Funny you mention Text messages... I sent a text to my ABF cause he is out of state and said your will probably forget me.... and I was just being sweet etc. and i get a raging text back " you are stupid, just stupid" ... QUit wasting my time and just go away and F... Off.. That was my nice text from him.. Have not heard a word except a " me too " this morning... Because I reached out to him this am and say I love him...
I am just preplexed over the major response I got from my text last night.
I was up all night crying and no sleep... OVER THIS? GEEZ and a major big UGGH!!
I quess he broke up with me for no apparent reason,,, but there you go.. leaving me stunned.!
