[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 344772, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]mog, the time to confront a person (or assure him, comfort, whatever) with a drinking issue is when that person is sober - not on the edge of falling down drunk. Like our difficult children in a rage, little will get through. You won't know what he wants until husband is ready to talk. I will say however when my husband was unemployed & finishing his degree he felt awful about himself. "A man is supposed to take care of his family" was husband's frequent comment. Didn't matter that his industry was severely depressed or that he finished up his degree & landed a wonderful job. At that time husband felt horrible about himself & had little self esteem left. Your husband will open up or he won't. In the meantime, don't feel the need to walk about on eggs fearing one will break. Offer your husband your support (if that is what you want) then go about your life as you see fit. Just some thoughts for you, my dear. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
