Great advice above and I am glad you are here.
I had a lovely boyfriend too who used to drink heavily.
Fast forward 16 years and I am married to that same sweet boyfriend and we have three beautiful children.
The only problem is that sweet lovely person isn't there very often any more. In his place is an angry raging verbally abusive alcoholic who is not nice to live with atall. Sure we still have some nice times BUT they all depend on him and his moods, depression and of course his true love alcohol.
Me and my children don't deserve any of this and I am making plans to separate.
I am heartbroken to say the least.
However my advice to you is run like hell, find yourself and live life to the full for you.
Alcoholism is progressive and it will only get worse unless he chooses recovery.
My AH has never shown any sign of wanting recovery and I am done.
I am sorry if my response is blunt and to the point. Take what you like and leave the rest.
Please take care of yourself and the rest will follow. Look after Yourself Phiz
