I'm in a new but serious relationship. My girlfriend wasn't drinking when we got together because she said it was a bad idea with her PTSD. She's wonderful, unless she's drinking. And then she lashes out and calls me names. Tonight I just left the room instead of engaging. I told her I didn't like being called names and was removing myself from an unhealthy situation and I went up to my bedroom because it was the healthiest option I could think of. Did I do the right thing? I feel guilty about her sleeping on the couch and I hate going to bed with unresolved issues. But if she's been drinking it isn't usually good for constructive communication.

It's true. It's better to not have a conversation, when a person is inebriated. If it would make you feel better, a loving gesture, is once she passes out, to cover her with a blanket. Otherwise, you are protecting your own emotional wellbeing.

Why is she still drinking, does she know it's hurting you? You did nothing wrong, so don't feel guilty.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
