Marylov,

First off Good Luck this weekend.

You described your H as a hothead and if you watched what you did and don't provoke him he is fine. It gets worse when he drinks.

Honestly, you just described what my W told me after the BD. She said she told everybody what a great guy I was when I wasn't drinking but when I did drink it all went down hill.

I quit drinking not because I had to but because I wanted to because it gives me the best chance at R. I may drink again or I may not. It was a dynamic between my W and I that did so much harm to our M.

The way you talk about watching what you say and do so not to set your H off made me think about how my W must have felt being around me. This isn't the first time I realized it and I have forgiven myself for how I made my W feel but she hasn't forgiven me and I don't know if she ever will.


I am not suggesting that your H must quit drinking your post just put me in a reflective moment.

Again, Good Luck this weekend
