[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jen herself said they were no longer having sex and worried he didn’t think she was pretty anymore. The way he says it on the podcast strongly suggests the loss of intimacy was sexual in addition to a loss of emotional connection. 
Btw a late 40’s male hitting the booze/valium and perhaps narcotics heavily is gonna be impotent most of the time.

He had me crying, seemed genuine in his appraisal of his marriage’s demise. I agree that he’s in denial about his alcoholism. I’m sure every AA and alanon member was kind of shaking their head when he tried to say he wasn’t an addict just responding to trauma. Yeah, that’s generally how most addicts get hooked. It’s still an addiction. Given how his started with alcohol and branched off into Valium, wasteful spending and sexual adventures he’s got some obvious addictive tendencies. He’ll need to address those roots further to walk in true recovery. 
I’m sure his family doesn’t relish seeing him hit the hard liquor  on weekends after years of him being an angry drunk. [/quote]

Yeah - just amazing how he mixed all that with "a little bit of drinking" and how he was just conveniently on the verge of alcoholism, but not diagnosed as such. The mentions of "I didn't drink for 3 months" and "I didn't drink (while at his sister's house), etc ring of "thou doth protest too much." I'm guessing he was drunk on the golf cart. He is headed for more disaster unless he addresses his addiction(s). [/quote]
