I"ve also left an abusive business partner and guess what?? The offers are POURING in. Someone just offered me $1000 to do some political work, high pressure fast approaching deadline, but I'm uniquely qualified for it.
Feels GREAT!!
Good for you, dont EVER doubt your decision, get away from this drunk for good. You still have wonderful years ahead of you. My aunt was with a horrible drunk for aabout 4 years and she went through a living hell with him and divorced his pathetic self. Guess what? She landed up with a man who had been her absolute knight in shining armor, married him and is VERY happily married now and the drunk? He was diagnosed with diabetes, he was TOLD to quit drinking or die, he died alone in a VA hospital ward wearing an adult diaper, hooked up to machines.
Call your man and have coffee with him, and do some serious talking.
