I know there are differences of opinion about whether partners of problem drinkers have a 'right' to drink or not. I think it's a moot point. Of course they have a 'right' to, but if it's a hindrance to their partner in any way, why would they insist?
I love the image of the Exercycle at the foot of the hospital bed....hilarious :-D

My husband doesn't know how to comfort me right now when I'm so anxious and worried. 
He doesn't know how or won't help me. He is leaving me to fend for myself and I don't see the point in staying married.
I think this is horrible. And I hate him for it.
It is inexcusable that he deserts me emotionally.
This is not what I wanted.
I am venting. And I know some of you will think ... well, divorce him. Sure, I wish it were that simple. If you've ever been married you know it isn't that simple. I think I will arrive at the conclusion to part ways with him, but it might take a while.

Yes, and he keeps throwing it back in my face. Why did you choose surgery? Aren't the odds slim? What is there to worry about? This is dumb. Etc, etc. Just useless crap.
Because I am worried, he seems to want to "blame" me for it!!
No, I don't know that he understands how worried I am. He knows about my mom and how she died. But he doesn't seem to really understand. He isn't able to bring it all together. I don't think he understands many things. He is too far removed from being able empathize.

^^ Lol!
He keeps saying he's ADD, gluten intolerant, and a few other things. Maybe something really is wrong with him.
I don't think he's at all autistic, to be honest.
I think his parents really messed him up in ways and he will never admit that. His mother is ... insufferable.

I've taken up enough bandwidth on this thread today. I think I'll cool it for a while.
Thanks for being there, you guys.
I am just in a miserable place lately because of many changes in my life. This is definitely a growth period ... I hope.

Lots going on here tonight.
Mesaman, I admire how you discuss the issue with your wife. It sounds mature and well thought out, calm and assertive without being agressive. Very good. That's how to make progress.
Soberpotamus. ..I feel your frustration for the lack of emotional support. Hugs to you.
Biminiblue. ..you and I have similarities in our drinking history. I also quit for a while when I was younger. Hopefully we can defy the 15% this time.
well, I'm pretty tired tonight. I had a good day. Tomorrow will be a long work day for me. Then the weekend. ..*****.
I feel kinda guilty cause I cancelled lunch plans Sunday because my football team is playing. They don't always get televised and I really enjoy the games. I didn't tell my friends why I needed to cancel....but we rescheduled for the following sunday.

My guess is it would be, but that's not a very educated guess. I just have the impression that Japanese cars are generally reliable, perform fairly well and are inexpensive to run and fix. I'm sure the guys will have a better opinion :-)

Haven't bothered boarding the weekend bus in a while. I'm still sober but, heck, I don't have weekends anymore! I'm glad I read your lead-in though, Weasel. Powerful stuff and I really need to hear about it right now. Thankyou.
