Lonely vs. Alone
This weekend I have been thinking that it is very lonely being married to an alcoholic. I turn down invitations from friends and don't do what I want to do because every time I leave the house - he gets drunk. If I am home all the time - then it is less likely to happen. I can not blame this on my AH - this is my own fault! These are the choices that I am making! My AH always totally supports me going and doing things with my friends (gets me out of the way, I suppose)
I'm tired of being lonely and I miss my friends. I need to find some healthier ways to spend my free time.
If I'm going to be lonely - maybe it would be better to be alone.
