How can a person who is drinking 24/7 say to a sweet and helpful dating partner that she "has no common sense" and ask "what the f*** is wrong with you" when I am driving him to and from a restaurant because I don't drink. It had got to be that whatever I said and did I was pounced on. I am educated, pretty, energetic and loved by his friends - he is 68 and will sit and watch westerns and drink at any hour. I am mystified - he had a good job with a utility company for over 35 years, but now he will go up to 3 days and not shower. I take 2 showers a day and am particular about how I dress.
We have been apart for over 2 weeks - he called on Sunday and talked for over an hour - I just let him rant - he said I am paranoid (because I ask him if there is someone else at times) and he has been with an ex twice - that I am insecure (he cancels weekend plans after 5:30 p.m., on a Friday. He has a house in PA and MD. I am not allowed to come to his house in PA because it needs repairing!!!
I don't know how and what to ask for help in a counseling session (I have been once). She looked at me and said I am very pretty and that dealing with an alcoholic was impossible. People think I have it all and don't have problems - this is insurmountable right now.
Thank you so much for your advice.
