[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I disagree with everyone.  It may not be too late to save this marriage.  Why, if he felt truly estranged from you, would he bother with flowers and a breakfast spread?  The opposite of love is not hate, as we all know, but indifference.  He sounds anything but indifferent.  I feel nearly certain that if you went to him and opened your heart to the possibility of doing your marriage differently he would give you another chance.  I believe he still loves you, but is exhausted by your failure to listen.  If you want to stay with him you will need to commit to reducing your time with your parents to no more than once monthly.  He has tried things your way.  Now it is time for you to try things his way.  If you give up without making one last effort I believe you will regret it.  Try.[/quote]I

Stop being obtuse, OP, and really listen to him. Get into marriage counseling if you care all about saving this marriage. Put your marriage first, stop seeing your alcoholic family on a weekly basis, stop asking him to join you. And look into al anon chapters near you and read some books on being a child of alcoholics. You are so enmeshed in your dysfunctional family that you can't even see what you're doing and have done for six years.

P.S. Your husband sound like a good man.

SIgned,
