Great attitude, sweetie! we can never know exactly what goes on in their heads. Aren't you glad? Why waste energy on trying to figure out what we can never figure out.
The post reminds me of how I would rarely finish my drink in a restaurant or whatever, and when we would get up to leave, he'd down my drink like water. He'd say something about the cost, how it would be a shame to "waste" it, etc, etc....
More. More. More. Sadly, there is never enough for an addict. And I am powerless to change that.

My AH wants us to meet after work last night for dinner. He txted me what I wanted to drink, he seems to always beat me there, my reply "sweet tea". I get there and he has a "drink" and my tea is sitting there with a shot of vodka beside it. I said is that mine ?? he said yes,you use to like it in your tea (four yrs ago)... I said Ive never seen them overflow a shot of vodka.... he says guess you got lucky and he put it in my tea.... I stir in thinking.. how weird this is but no reason to start a fight.. taste the tea.. and Im drinking watered down tea. when he went to bathroom I smelled shot glass and tasted last drop in it ... it was water,guess he poured the vodka in his and replaced with water.. At the end of meal I said .. gosh I never had a shot of vodka especially that full and couldnt taste it or feel like I drank anything... He said oh ....... I guess things just hit me as "really/funnny" ??? Guess he felt better if he thought I thought he wasnt drinking alone... who knows??
