Dazed.....have you got a better idea? It seems that your own mental health would be the greater concern, right now....

This situation has been a long time coming....and, it sucks, but, it is the reality....

He's already drinking, but wanting to get it back out in the open to drink more.

Blaming you is his easy out. Why do you believe anything he is saying? It is all manipulative nonsense from someone who cannot accept any "blame" for screwing up his life and marriage.

Him saying nobody stands in the way of his recovery is bluster.
It would be great if it is true, but his "symptoms" of behavior clearly indicate he is still sick with addiction.

Good you are calling the hotline--this piece of crap calling himself a man isn't worth your life.

DC, please realize your intrinsic worth has nothing to do with him or what he says or does.

Truly

You / we already suspected he was drinking.
Trust your instinct.
Maybe his "singing while packing" was early buzz.
Now the mean phase is starting.
Either way, you are not a verbal punching bag DC.

I would leave even though it is unfair. Take the dog and get out for the night.

More is being revealed.

Of course you have. But you aren't willing to let him stay and put up with his drunken abuse any longer.

So he is saying that to hurt you and still try for the guilt manipulation to get to stay. See it for what it is and not at all as a real thing.

Get away from this. It's hurting you.

Good work DC. You can pay off a hotel bill, but this kind of emotional damage is far more expensive to your soul.

yep, stay out of poo range, including virtual poo

how about treating yourself to a nice take out from your favorite eatery, a hot shower, and a cuddle tonight with your pup?

This too shall pass, but not fast enough I know--

I remember now, I’m the enemy standing between him and his booze. Well now he can drink all he wants without me. Whose he gonna blame then?

that's the ticket--good meal, good soak, good puppy love.

All will be well in the end. You just gotta go through to get there.

glad I could be here for you. It is so hard to deal with this in your home, but the clock is ticking.

I'm off to bed now that you are out and safe.
See you in the morning DC--
