Granted, Tipper never succinctly states it...she over talks and qualifies things so much as to make them unclear (Sorry Tipper, but you are nearly always too wordy, thus sucking you into discussions NOT relevant to the core issue.)
Yet even this drunk h of hers came right out and asked her about getting sober being a condition of reconciliation...HE KNOWS...He sooo knows.
But he then laid it on HER as if she owed him her company
WHILE he supposedly attempts to get sober --
(AND with the least likely method of success
which, btw, he already did AND
failed at...oh yeah, that...)
...was it 2 days he went without booze & returned the book SHE gave him to read, or was it one day?
Worse, Everytime she contacts him she allows herself to get sucked into the most absurd "debate" about who needs to do what and who meant what.
Apparently She will not let go of him even if he is drinking
and that's not helping HIM
and it's just a cycle she is refusing to break.
But make no mistake,
he knows exactly what HE needs to do to attain a healthy reconciliation
(although he'd be satisfied with simply preventing her from moving on b/c he wants to KNOW she's still available to him
in case he changes his mind or temporarily wants her company or money or whatever...
he wants to know he still has her, even if he still drinks and even if he has OW...)
I am amazed when I recall that he has left her before...twice?
and she did the same things then, as she is doing now except now she knows better....and yet...
Tipper, what will it take for you to stop enabling him?
