Feeling a bit mean..

I told my bf a long time ago that I didn't wanna hear anymore of his BS and "pity me" crap anymore...sick of hearing about it, am bored of it etc...
Detaching quite nicely....he hasn't spoken to me about his drinking and "state of mind" for a long time now...he's seemed ok..
Never occured to me that he'd hide how he was feeling..
He told yesterday that he felt very lonely and isolated, like he has no one, no one to talk to etc..He told me he's felt like this for a long time and when I asked why he hasn't said anything he reminded me about what I said..

When I said what I said, I didn't mean I didn't want him to discuss his feelings ever...just not when he was on a binge and a "poor me" downer...

Now I kinda feel mean that he feels he can't talk to me ever...I don't want him to feel like that...I think I forget that he's human sometimes as well as an alcoholic...How do you seperate the two...be there for the man but not the drunk?
