Weeelll, my last SO wasn't an alcoholic, but believe me, I felt more relief when he left than when I left my second actively drinking husband.
Sitting in SILENCE, no TV blaring football or home improvement shows all weekend.
Eating something other than Italian food occasionally (he did all the cooking at home AND decided where we were gonna eat out).
Actually having pleasant holidays without waiting for someone to start criticizing or being negative.
Listening to music *I* like; going to movies *I* like, rather than the ones he deemed "acceptable."
I mentioned my boat shoes before, but dressing the way I like, not the way HE preferred.
