I'm not sure whether separate boards are helpful and here's why:

For many of us, we don't know if we're going to leave our partner or support them and some of us flip flop, some of us flip flop daily...that would be me. Truthfully, I think most of us are here because we're stuck in that should-I-stay-or-should-I-go place. If any of us could simply say "see ya" or "I'm here to support you forever" with any kind of resolute determination we probably wouldn't need to be here at all. Especially for those who's partners are still in denial about their issues but they have shared familial and financial interests. Very tricky and scary stuff.

For what it's worth Poh, I may not relate to your backstory, but your story is still a breath of fresh air here because its happy and your POV comes across as such. I still find value in your words, maybe just not any advice that applies to my particular situation. Further, it gives me hope that my husband can get and stay focused on being sober as your wife has.
