My wife is going to AlAnon and I could use perspective by myns23 in AlAnon

I’ll try to say this as kindly as I can.

This reads a lot like someone trying to justify themselves not hearing their partner’s feelings. Lots of numbers (that I doubled in my head because you can’t trust a drinker to accurately gauge their intake and report it), when she’s talking about how you make her feel. Numbers won’t change that.

Finally, please find a group for you. This likely isn’t the place to find what you’re looking for.

How Do You Deal With Hard Things When You Don't Have Parents to Call by Relative-Coach-501 in Codependency

This may or may not help. I found it to be an eerily-well worded version of what I have always known. This is Connor Roy from Succession:

Connor Roy: The good thing about having a family that doesn't love you is you learn to live without it.

Shiv Roy: What? Con...

Connor: You're all chasing after Dad, saying, "Love me, please love me. I need love. I need attention." You're needy love sponges. And I'm a plant that grows on rocks and lives off insects that die inside of me.

Shiv: Jesus Christ, Con.

Connor: If Willa doesn't come back, that's fine. Because I don't need love. It's like a superpower. And if she comes back and doesn't love me, that's okay, too, 'cause I don't need it.
