Sadly, I was told how progressive this was and in 4 yrs it has become so much worse. Certainly not the person I thought my EXABF was and to watch the person he has become is so sad! I have since decided their is some type of personality disorder. Almost like bipolar either that or damage over the years! If he stopped drinking would it revert? I don't have a clue. Take care of yourself and hang in there,
