Considering your H's alcoholism, do you mind me asking what is pulling you to want to make it all work? I'm not trying to be flippant or to put you on the spot. I just know how I am feeling with MY H .. who is also an alcoholic.
After almost 30 yrs I (think) I am ready to call it quits.
Living with an alcoholic sets me up for one huge disappointment after another. I feel like I am in a constant "holding my breath" mode in almost every situation .. from not knowing how I am going to meet monthly financial commitments to not knowing how he will respond to me (or anyone, for that matter) in any given situation.
While (IMO) his alcoholism hasn't really come to forefront .. only in these last 3 or 4 years or so .. with everything else added in from ALL of our years of marriage, it's like "I can't do it anymore!"
I commend you for wanting to hang in there .. but am wondering what is "different" for you .. in how you are currently thinking vs what (I think) you must have been feeling before?
