Sue, I was wondering how you were doing. I haven't been on the boards for the past few days. I think Christmas Eve was the last time. Son was here and he, H, and I were spending a lot of time together. We had a great Christmas! Son left yesterday and daughter will be here on the 30th. Then we get to do a Christmas celebration all over again! It sounds like you and H are doing pretty well. I'm not sure that your H will ever be exactly as you want, ( probably none of our spouses ever are. )but if he keeps trying and you can live with what he is, it will be okay. I think the drinking is a big concern. He is not really going to be able change unless he quits. Do you think he is capable of quitting on his own if he wants? I think that some people are, and some aren't.
I'm glad that you're being so patient with H. That must be very difficult.
