Grateful,

First, congrats on your own clean time! 50 days (now 51 i guess) is HUGE so rock on! IMO, its hard enough managing your own life sober, and its easy to get bogged down in helping other people. Maybe try focusing more on your own personal recovery rather than on your significant others'? His mistakes arent directly harming you - you're just putting forth too much effort to help him out. Why not let him learn from his own mistakes?

Also, when it comes down to it, would you want him calling your sponsor to complain about your behavior in early sobriety? Didn't think so.

I vote no.
