I'm so sorry Tipper. Unfortunately, I have no good advice for you on this one. I have no patience for people who would rather drink their lives away than spend time with the ones they care about.

IMO, if you confront him about his drinking, he'll only run further away and drink even more. If you say and do nothing then he'll keep perpetuating the behavior. There is no winning.

The only thing I can think of is to keep GAL including during the time he is hanging in the bar. Don't sit at home while he's doing that. Go out with your girlfriends to coffee, karaoke, poetry readings, whatever makes you tick. Go do it and enjoy it. Live your life and if H is serious about wanting to put your lives back together he will have to come to you again, and again, and again until he realizes that he is the one that needs to do the work.
