seeking advice in love with a person in recovery - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Ken12 · 02-19-2012, 03:17 PM

I myself am not in recovery, but I am in love with someone that is, and she has been clean for 7 years, and she has completely turned her life around. Problem is this, some days she is very quiet and distant, doesn't want to be touched, etc. In fact she's down right mean and inconsiderate at times, and she gets angry at herself for treating me this way. Every other aspect of our life is great, I don't judge her, I love her without conditions, but it seems now she wants a break in order to "fix herself." What if anything does that indicate? We truly love each other and have been together for 3 years.

This is not one of the more active forums here. I would repost this in the friends and family forum.
