Your question to your alcoholic was and I quote....." You're going to 3
meetings today, and not spending time with me" ?

Sorry if I misread that. I read that as if he were ignoring your time
together, instead of working on him. I've been in Al-Anon for 23 years, and I've
learned that my alcoholic has his own issues, and I have my own. I do NOT try to
block his recovery, and he doesn't try to block mine. I've also learned NOT
to plan time together, that it'll happen in it's own time. Spontaneity seems
to work much better for us.

Sorry if you thought I was discounting your feelings, and your statement. I
have learned in Al-Anon that I won't always like what I hear, but I don't feel
that if my recovery were cushioned, I'd have learned anything!
