This is a pattern with him...I always allow him back and nothing gets resolved... What can be different when and if he returns again?
Absolutely nothing if you allow him to return without resolving the issues FIRST.

Yes you are risking that he will not...that he will just retreat instead. Let him. He cannot come home until things change...

Get a counselor and find some rehab...whether he will accept it or not--it should be a requirement.
