Good morning, I can't speak in relation to the partner side of things in regards to addiction but I can tell you it's not uncommon for us to second guess ourselves when placing boundaries. You don't need to make any decisions today. Maybe allow yourself a good window of time before committing to a permanent decision. If you've threatened "eviction" (for lack of a better word) in the past but haven't stuck to it he may be thinking this will pass. For him to give up a good job instead of facing his addiction, as well as giving up his family life, he clearly isn't ready for the type of change necessary to be a productive partner. If you aren't ready to give up hope yet, then don't. Let him know you haven't but that he simply cannot live there in that state. That you'll be watching for his actions, not listening to his words, and that you trust you'll know when the time is right to take next steps if necessary. While he is sorting himself out continue to focus on providing a loving, stable enviro for yourself and your kids. Attend meetings if you are able and keep reaching out here. We all understand the powerlessness you feel. xxxx
