First, do not mention the alcohol. I truly believe this is something HE has to figure out, and you can help with your actions, not words. you know when you talk about those things he backs away, so that doesn't work.
DEFINITELY do that alanon, and that could be one of the actions.
I did agree with 25, except for the fact that you guys made-out. That's the part that if he is doing that on purpose to spend more time with baby, that is wrong, even if the end results are good. but I don't believe that to be his motive.
I would highly suggest you do not be physical with him again, unless it's something innocent, like rubbing shoulders or something. Because, he also needs to learn that he doesn't have to have a woman all the time, and if your there in a physical way, he won't learn that. If he moves on to another woman, well, then there will be your answer, that he hasn't changed yet.
I'm glad that he sent that apologetic text. did he do that the last time too? how often?
perhaps sometime if he brings up the R talk again, mention that you know both of you have been thru a lot and think it would be good for you both to focus on yourselves individually so that you guys will have a better chance at having a good R if you both decide to start all over again. and it doesn't mean that you don't see each other, but you just start out as friends. Maybe sometime you guys can write a list about the things you really like about each other, and those can be things you work on more. (just an idea for the future)
but still, remember, no expectations!! and start loving yourself, cause your too worried bout H still.
oh, and the reason you get stressed is because you are lacking faith. Faith that you are going to be okay, and your life will be wonderful! Start believing this and it will happen! and faith in God's plan for you.
