Tomato,
My H's favorite band ever is Rush. He is a drummer and idolizes Neil Peart. So your title caught my eye.

My H and I are trying to piece for the 3rd time within 15 months. He 1st left for 4 mos. due to infatuation with a stripper. Then came back for 5 & 1/2 mos. of piecing. He left the second time for 3 months and came back to piece for a week and was gone again. Then 3 mos. later again he has now come back to me and our M for the 3rd try at reconciliation.

My H has changed dramatically over this past few years. I can hardly recognize him, but he is making some efforts to piece again. He is now a alcoholic and spends about 5-6 nights a week at the bars. I just dont know what to do, I love him so much and hate to see his negative changes.

One change that he has made could be positive & negative. He has joined a band and plays every monday night at a bar in town. He drinks very heavily those nights. So it is nice to see him get involved with his music again but its terrible to know that it is only promoting his drinking.

You should see/hear my H play "Tom Sawyer" he is incredible.
