My husband is drinking, nothing new but trying to "reconnect with me" I am unemotional at this point but he managed to get a few remember whens out of me. We almost had a good time, out in the driveway, in his truck, talking and listening to a song or two. His reasoning was a song that stated something along the lines of Thank you for loving me blah blah "I can't say what I want to say to you but he says it all."
Merlot, both my husbands were drinkers. So I can certainly relate. After a while you shut down. You go through the motions of a marriage, but not the emotions. My first marriage was 12 long years. Then he died of Alzheimers. My second lasted 14 years and he died of cancer. The alcoholism only hastened his death. Both times (and I hate to say it) I felt releif. Both husbands attended AA. But it didn't stick with either of them. Though they kept trying. I just wish folks would attack drinking like they have smoking. Have you ever heard of anyone having a cigarette and then getting behind the wheel and wiping out a whold family in a crash?
