Thanks for your thoughts. I completely agree about the alcohol...knew it as it was coming out of my mouth. I do try to mother too much, always have. I'm working on it and will keep doing so.
Sandi said the drinking may have had something to do with OW. I think you're right. Something happened yesterday between when I spoke with him at 4:15 (he was on his way to S7s ballgame) and 5:00 (was very angry and now no time to come to S7s ballgame). That's when he went home and drank. Made me wonder if she was supposed to go and cancelled on him. I'll never know, but something certainly happened.
You're right about the cake eating and it makes me crazy. I do need to decide what I want (I'm getting closer, things are getting clearer) and I think your ideas for getting his attention are good. I'm not sure how they'll work out as he'll just write them off to "faking it" like he has every other change he's made. I did go out this past week, but was out of town so H didn't even know about it. I have plans to go out Thursday night, but he won't be home. I'll have to think about what I could do that would be authentic (not just doing for him to see) and visible to him and get his attention.
