Unsure if he's right...
I'm an alcoholic & I'm going through AA. I did release over the weekend & my husband was rightly upset.
He feels that i am wanting the world to make me happy & that I am owed something - well its a little be true.
Last night I said to him that I don't have a close friend I can just vent to, someone i can just talk to honestly & openly. As i was trying to speak about it he kept cutting me off & said that i just someone else to fix my problems & i am not taking responsibility for my own actions. How is that wanting someone to fix my own problems? I just want to talk & vent & not asking for any solutions... i know what i need to do to fix my problems. Just i feel i need a friend right now... I already talk at AA but its not the same thing as needing a friend.
I know I have hurt my husband with my drinking & yes wasn't the 1st time i had relapsed but is he right in saying that if i wanna talk to a friend i just want them to fix my problems?
