Hi Marie,
We talked awhile back about long term relationships and how things get off track. Specifically, about whether we love our spouses or not. You didn’t mention before about the drinking part, at least not in the posts I read. In our family, if anyone has a problem with alcohol, it’s me. I self medicate with it but it has never really gotten out of hand. (in my opinion) My wife drinks, but infrequently, and then not very much. She comes from an alcoholic family (father) and is paranoid that she will follow in that path.
Why does your husband drink? I mean, I know it can be a disease, but is there a reason behind it? Why did you drink? Is your husband’s problem with alcohol part of why you question if you love him? You said before that you were pretty sure that your husband had little to do with your depression. The alcohol abuse part makes me question this.
Let me know if you want to talk about this further. Okay?Greg
