Glad you had a reasonable day, and hope you enjoy the maze today. I was thinking about your sitch last night, and your H's difficult childhood.
I wonder with the alcohol use and pulling away from the M - whether he is in some 'crisis' about the childhood issues - and that they are 'knocking on his door' wanting to be dealt with? Of course, this wouldn't be something he is likely to want to hear from you...
It's just a theory, and feel free to ignore - but I'm reading Men in Midlide Crisis at the moment, and some of the stuff resonated with me in respect of your H - 'medicating' and pulling away from others etc...
Enjoy yourselves at the Maze if you go today! And if you anticipate some pullback, just be very relaxed yourself about it - zigzags are such a feature of these sitches :-)
