My current boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now. Most of our days are filled with laughter and joy, we support each other during hard times and really help each other grow. However over the last year he has been drinking more and more and it’s not like a night cap kind of situation or going out with friends on the weekend. It’s every night, drinking at least a 1/5 of vodka, whiskey, etc. then he turns mean, he’s never hit me but he likes to call me names and he says things like “go to your kennel or stop being a ****!” Calls me a princess in a demeaning way. Sometimes I tell him what happens and sometimes I don’t. I recently left the house because I told him I didn’t think he really loved me anymore and that made him angry and he told me “well if that’s true then get out”. So I did. A few hours later when he sobered up he apologized however I was already half way to my moms house and knew I couldn’t go back. It’s been 6 days since I left and he says he’s stopped drinking and will never drink again. He says he’s doing it for himself and that he already sees the benefits of not drinking. I know I want to go back but when is the right time? How do I know I’m not being an idiot taking him back?!
