Hi lonely 26, just wanted to say welcome to you and assure you that you are not alone. When you read the posts, you will see a pattern that you can identify with, and it is very comforting to know that you are not crazy in your experiences. As an example, the last text I sent to my XABF said, "I can no longer deal with your alcoholism and your substance abuse." I went on to enumerate the serious things that were wrong in our relationship. His response?? "Please tell me what I said that was rude to you." Hello...is that all you will comment on? Let's forget the elephant in the living room here.. Just keep up one day at a time. We are all here for you
