Struggling with something

ABF has now been sober for a little over a month. He's been going to AA regularly. Far be it from me to evaluate his recovery, but things have been good between as. I've really looked to these forums for support - when I feel stressed or I'm feeling like I'm acting all clingy and codie, I turn here and gain a lot of clarity. I know I don't post very often, but I read all the time.

What I'm struggling with right now is the..weirdness I feel about staying with ABF. Because I actually do want to stay with him. But, when I read these forums, I see so many situations that are objectively not healthy situations. And I feel like the vibe I get from most ( which I understand) is that if you're not married or have kids together or whatever, you should leave because being with an alcoholic only begets misery.

Am I kidding myself into thinking that my situation is ok? Am I just bring young, dumb, and naive for staying?
