Maybe some remember my saga... But in a nutshell my marriage went crashing down after I had enough of my husband's misuse of the family finances. He's blamed it all on his "addiction" and promised to get better and go to therapy. He's got a therapist now, but he still hasn't been able to have his first session (that's due in two weeks).
In the meantime life at home has had ups and downs (but significantly more downs) and his drinking has stayed the same (separate to the addiction he's getting treatment for).
Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with pre cancer, and originally he reacted really well and that plus a few other things made me more certain about the future of our marriage, but then 10 days ago, he was drunk I lost my cool and we had a fight.
The other parents of the other children all more or less got involved because I was being too loud. My exH has apologised, as he admits he was getting overstepping (and I guess he knows, so knows how I can react).
My husband's ex-wife didn't but that's by the by.
Still people getting all pissy about my behaviour in my house when I was having a fight with my not so great husband really annoyed the heck out of me.
This past weekend was our anniversary weekend. We went on a mini break and it was nice, not amazing but nice.
He's also has made a promise to never drink at home ever again.
I've told my friends of many years my predicament and they've both have said that it does make sense to wait and see if his treatment works. I agree, but it just takes so long, and I just want a stress free, non eventful life.
