I knew there were risks. But now I am taking full responsibility of my decision and I am consequent. I am not definitely the person who leaves the boat first when it starts to sink, I am the last after all people are safe. As long as there is a hope, there is a hope. I was with her when she needed me, I was with her in some tough times in her life and she trusted me and I won't let her down now. That's called responsibility.
We did put lots of energy and ourselves into this relationship and abandoning it would be stupid and make it all just wasted. If she would be addicted, it could be the first thing to consider, but she's not, the boat is still on the water. If it happens to be fully under water it will be the time to decide abandon or sink with it, but it's not an issue now.
And finally, she's worth to give her a chance.
