am I tired or falling out of love?
*First post & new to AlAnon*
HI! My live in boyfriend is in the early stages of recovery, he is actively receiving treatmeet and we are being more open and honest about the disease than ever. But lately I find myself doubting if I can handle this, or if I even want to. He is doing everything I could ask to recover but I still feel tired, unconnected, and like a parent to him. And that is not what I hoped out of my relationship. To make matters worse, he works second shift & I work first so we only really see each other on the weekends. I feel like I have a person that I live with, the care of, and occasionally hang out with on the weekends instead if a boyfriend. I am getting help as well but tonight I cried for 20 minutes because I cannot tell if I don't love him anymore or if I am just struggling with his recovery. I know nobody can decide how I feel but me but I am hoping someone has beeN here and can relate?
thanks
