.... I'm not. DH just staggered in at 6am.

He has a history of relying heavily on alcohol but has been doing better this year after a crisis last Christmas, in which he ended up in A and E. He does still have a regular Friday night outing though.

For the past 2 weeks he's been out late, or so I thought, and so yesterday he assured me that it wouldn't be a late one.

He's just staggered in and been sent upstairs to DS2's empty room (DC are 8 and 7yo - DS2 currently in my bed)

I am so angry, and just plain sick of him and his shit.

I'd appreciate a handhold or some advice on how to manage this please. He is notoriously resistant to accepting any kind of culpability for wrongdoing - I can hear the accusations of controlling behaviour now.

Divorce looking much more real this morning.....

I imagine his first few meetings were packed with congratulations for being strong enough to go at all.
Now he's starting to get to the point where people will start asking about actual changes, suddenly "once a week or less" is his plan.

How's it going @ContessaLovesTheSunshine ?

How are you?

He won’t change unless he wants to. IMO if he relays heavily on alcohol then a regular Friday night outing hasn’t really changed much in the grand scheme of things as he will be saving it all up to have a blow out Friday. Does he use drugs?
