whew, that is a hard one. A very, very hard one. I could see that if your addict was a child, or a parent, etc...

But to love your partner in life, your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, etc. "from a distacnce" would really be difficult.
It then becomes a 'different' type of love, and would imagine at that point you are basically 'done' with your relationship, but will 'always love you' kinda thing.
