That will happen with ppl who have a drinking problem. Drinking always comes first, you come last. Never settle for less than what you want and deserve in a relationship, and never sell yourself short in life. Believe in yourself, respect yourself and your needs, and love yourself more than him.. when you love yourself enough and more than any other person, you gain the strength and resolution to say “no” to situations and people that are bad for you. He’s only going to drag you down, and like you said, hold you back from meeting the RIGHT person. HUGS!
