[quote=Anonymous]OP once again, adding that yes, we are going to do some couples counseling sessions as PPs have recommended. I don't know how much connection our relationship dynamic has to alcohol abuse but counseling is a good idea regardless. There is so much good between us, and our communication has improved a lot since the days when we were drinking excessively and having boozy arguments about stupid stuff.

We really value each other but our dynamic still needs work. He has described himself as a lifelong people-pleaser and I don't always know what he really wants and sometimes have to dig to find out. I don't think I'm controlling (certainly don't want to be) but it seems like he needs a lot of support to share his feelings. This makes him sound meek and he is not - he is a really fun, successful guy with a wonderful circle of friends. It's like he has this tumultuous inner life that alcohol is connected to in some way. I'm not entirely sure and am trying to feel my way through this.[/quote]
