Your alcoholic in denial boyfriend is a mentally sick puppy, he will be a tornado in your life, that will see you eventually end up as sick as he is.
You can't fix him and he does not love you like you love him.
Ignore everything that comes out of his mouth with regards to "love".... Actions speak louder than words.
Always watch his actions if you want to really know how he feels about you.
Hawks, thank you SO much for writing this. I'm going through a similar withdrawal 5 weeks after leaving my sweet, loving ABF and have hit a particularly low stretch this week. DYING to call him and arrange a meeting. KNOWING I should not (at least by conventional thinking...is that my denial at work?
I really need to hear from the RAs on this. Really, really helps. Thank you for chiming in!
