Was getting ready to respond to your other thread then saw this. Good for you. Nothing permanent anyway, there's nothing to say what the future holds for anyone. And being on hold for 2 years wouldn't work for me.

I was in a horrible rship last year w a woman who was wonderful at first before we started trying to have a serious rship, then when we did, I discovered she'd started drinking. Then it got bad. Immediately. Lies. Selfish acts, all these things she did that we're totally out of her character. I was devastated. Her friends knew her longer than I were devistated. she'd been sober 18 years. I'd made trips to Detroit and so many times I drove back in tears seeing her like that. So were her closest friends. Alcoholics only love the bottle.

Being in a rship with an alcoholic is not good. At all. If you and he are meant to be with each other, then it'll happen if not, then it's for the best. I know that's a little cliche, but sometimes you just have to believe it in order to take the next step.
