Sandi your are correct. Both his doctor and I have talked to him about drinking and taking ad. They are not effective if you drink.
He admitts he is going through a crisis. It is like a roller coster. One day he is affectionate and relaxed and the next he is distant and cold. Today has been a good day, he talked about what time of apartment we would get if he does a rotation in DC about the future. But he is still not as nice or caring toward me.
I can tell when I do the 180's you recommended back in november he starts to not want to push us away. I have avoided r talks, acted like everything was fine, started working out in the evenings and having him watch the kids. I also noticed it is best when we are busy. I feel like a mad women trying to come up with activites for us on the weekend. If I don't he sits on the computer all day. He is the type of person who needs to be busy or he gets down restless, and stressed.
