Things not to do when your significant other quits drinking

1. Ask about the AA meeting while drinking wine.

2. Open a bottle while she's in the shower, slam three glasses, and rush off to school.

3. On your motorcycle.

4. Leaving behind on your desk, in the office you share with her, a few sips of said wine in your oh-so-discreet coffee cup.

5. As well as splashes of same on the kitchen counter, a dishcloth, and a roll of paper towels.

6. Not to mention the savory-smelling cork.

7. Or, most helpful of all--drumroll please--the last third of the bottle, uncorked, in plain view.

P.S. No, I didn't drink any of it. I vented to my friend P and then went to a meeting.

  1. Was he, perhaps, in addition to expressing anger/fear, trying to test your resolve?

  2. Dunno. It's possible. It's also possible that he was being a serious lunkhead. Or both. When we fought about this the next day, he indicated that he's completely "weirded out" by my going to AA and has therefore disengaged mentally from the entire topic.
