MWG if that bothers you so much, then you do need to draw the line. Could you make new plans this year that don't include h?

I am not so sure he feels obligated. If your h didn't care he wouldn't be around.

If your h is truly depressed, hence the alcohol to drown his sorrows and to escape from reality, he may be paralyzed to do anything about his sitch. Like looking for work etc.

It's easier for him to drink vs having to face looking for a job etc.

Your h has some deep wounds such as the hating himself. It will be necessary to get to the root of that.

I have NO advice other than to say I am sorry you are struggling. It sounds like your faith may be wavering today or this week.

Do you think being out working has changed your thinking or your standing?

Hugs!
