I am leaving because of his alcoholism...and to save my own sanity. I have tried everything else, he's sought 'help' on three seperate occassions and never followed through. He's promised me he'll 'slow down' but then he speeds up. I am saving myself by leaving; he can drown in beer if he so chooses, but I will not be dragged down any further with him. This last two weeks were my breaking point. I am beyond hurting...I feel like he shot me full of lead and I am sinking into the ocean.
He is the typical functional alcoholic, so I am not getting my hopes up too high that he will agree to treatment, as he is too far sunk into denial. I just want him to know that this is breaking my heart to pieces that I am leaving him, and I want him to know how far his alcoholism has progressed in the six years I've been with him. I intend to support him fully when or if he decides to go, but as far as remaining his gf, I am not sure if I can do it anymore unless his BEHAVIORS change, not just if his stops. Does that make sense?
