You are most welcome! I completely related to your post actually. And the responses are helpful to me as well. That is the beauty of SR!

Loving someone who is knee deep in recovery work is tough. Letting go of any percieved notions of control I thought I had on how he is treating me is the most freeing of feelings actually.

It doesn't place huge expectations on him (which he cannot possibly live up to at this point, even if he wants to) and it doesn't set me up for repeated disappointment.

Feel free to send me a message if you like. I'm sort of going through the same thing.. bit different context but I was all 'what the heck is going on??' until I accepted that he has to do this for himself first if we are ever going to have a chance to succeed.

Get out and enjoy the sunshine on your own.!
