When I broke it off with my lover of 5 years ...it was to
protect my early sobriety. He supported my recovery efforts .
The only time he wanted to quit....was to keep his job.
Like you....I thrived.....and as far as I know...he's still a drunk
I've moved and left no way for him to contact me.
Unless children are involved...why continue to drag it out?
I'm sorry your ex is still drinking....but I wonder why you are
keeping in touch with a toxic man or his family?
Not all loves are healthy or meant to be forever.
Well done on your progress..
