Would it be mean to stay in the US for a while and leave him alone? I am planning on going to alanon again and have been in therapy for a couple months. I just don't know if I can trust him again. How long does it take to regain trust in your partner
Welcome Isabelle. I don't think it would be mean to stay in the US for longer than you planned. Did he consider it mean when he was abusing alcohol and all that implies?? He is a grown man that can take care of himself and his own recovery.
How long does it take to regain trust in your partner? As long as you need!
