Everyone is right - I do feel uncomfortable expressing how I feel because we just end up arguing and he ends up feeling sorry for himself and I feel guilty. How do I break this cycle? I feel like he takes everything I say so personally that I am walking on eggshells trying not to rock the boat! Can we ever move past this point?? How?
I know the group of people he is going with but they are party people. I wouldn't say they are exactly my friends. They are very very sweet to me but we do not keep in touch outside of when we see each other.
Also, LexieCat - he has never attended an AA meeting or other support group, nor does he go to any kind of therapy. He has not disclosed to his friends his reason for sobriety so he really has a very limited support system. He used to rely solely on me until I told him that I could not be his only pillar. I sometimes fear he is not allowing himself all the necessary tools for recovery.
Sigh..
