Yellowrose,

Thanks again for the response. This place is all I have. All my other friends dont want to hear it anymore. They think he will never change.

The thing is that I feel stuck.

When you told me how you stood up to your H about getting his act together, Its like de ja vu.

I allready did this last spring when he tried to return to our M but was going out every night. After a week of that, I said to him that I didnt think that reconciliation was a good idea when he is out drinking all the time. He said fine, you just dont accept me for who I am (very immaturly) and then grabbed his beer from my fridge and I didtn see him again for about 3 months.

I put my foot down, he left again. He came back in may and was very apologetic and told me he would work on his drinking. He was doing ok for a while. Like all summer. Then when I went back to work teaching in the fall he started going back to the bars more and more. And now he is there every day again.

Do I put my foot down again, only to send him running. Or do I stay quiet and deal with this mistreatment.

He still hasnt called me today, when he knows I didnt have work. His truck was at his place at 5 when I drove by to get my oil changed. I think he is pulling away from ME. What do I do?

TIPPER
