I'm no mind reader. None of us are and cannot forsee the future. From what I am reading in your posts, however, I see your H perhaps halting his own MLC before it is over. If that happens, which my H did, you will probably be looking at this again further down the line, and 10X worse.
Read over so many of others postings here about coming back too soon. We want it to be over so badly. Want things back the way they were. Want our H's to be the men we married. We'll do practically ANYTHING to make that happen. Beg, borrow, steal, bargain with God.
My H's MLC was interrupted by, of all things, the War in Iraq. While it postponed the inevitable, it certainly didn't help.
Tread carefully, Alb. The drinking is a definite bad sign. JMO
