I think it can safely be said that
considering how vast the internet is
and the billions of sites that can be visited and whatever
to come to this one little 'dot com' spot
to argue one's normal condition
is more than likely ... not normal.
When a string on a guitar breaks
it affects the guitar
and the other strings as well.
(see Kahlil Ghibran The Prophet 'on marriage' for reference)
so I am wondering
how someone could not be affected
by the alcoholism of the partner
in a marriage.
I don't believe that's possible.
However - your truth is your own.
But the need to declare it and defend something
that allegedly doesn't affect someone
is enough evidence to question
the validity of the claim.
Had it not had some effect
there would have never been a need or even an interest
in coming here in the first place.
