I must have missed the part that you have a drinking problem. Is this something your wife has indicated is a roadblock for her to return to the marriage? If so, what have you done about it?
The drinking issues stem from pressure and stress and depression. I have gotten on anti depressants and they have helped.
She has left 3 times in the past 8 years. I DB, stop drinking but haven't resolved the hurt and issues I have. Each time she does nothing to help me, even when I ask.
This time she left at the worst financial and emotional place we could possibly be in.
I've been struggling with picking myself up the past 7 months. Stop drinking, she changes her behavior, I get hopeful, I get dashed. It's my choices that are killing me. sometimes I wish they would succeed.
But, I have 2 kids who she could never support. So I keep going.
