I could have done with this 27 years ago, but I would probably still have floated into marriage on my little dream cloud.<br /> I love my man but am struggling a great deal at the moment as he has become an alcoholic - not physically aggressive, but can be verbally so - who, having retired through ill health 3 years ago, now does nothing all day but sit in our bedroom sleeping or watching tv. I am learning through Al-Anon to love in a non-enabling way, but it is very hard.<br />Sisters (and brothers) who read this, spare a prayer for those enslaved to addictions, and for those of us who love them.Hawthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538563836252189874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113535730415912557.post-41708558270838327762011-06-29T06:15:18.371-07:002011-06-29T06:15:18.371-07:00Fantastic post!

Most of which have no biblical basis. And people change, I changed in the last seven yrs and so has my husband. But we have to continue on and adapt!

Kinda expands on your #6. When you ask what he's thinking about and he says "nothing"... he's serious!! ;-) (It's at http://lisa-beehivebuzz.blogspot.com/2011/01/men-vs-women-too-funny.html)<br /><br />Great list btw. I married the man I dated all through college, it's been 13 years now. You're spot on. I didn't think (when you linked up on Karen's site) that I'd need tissues to read a list.
