Same here. The success stories are all, "We are one year sober" or worse "We are 90 days sober", but by year three...relapse or broken up because one partner didn't like the other in sobriety. There has to be an exception, but you NEVER hear anyone say: "My partner has been sober for five years now, and we are happy as larks and I am SO glad I stayed with him and supported him."
You never ever hear that.
