I just want to say you're not alone, and it takes some serious strength to call it off and walk away. It may be hard to see this now, but in time you will see that the best thing you can do is protect yourself from more damage. Your story has helped me because it just reminded me of the ex fiancé that I left and how she almost got us kicked out of the apartment with her drunken behavior.
If you want to read my story, I posted it in "I Left the Chaos" and "Anger Stage."
I just want to thank you for coming here and posting this, and I just want to let you know that you have a good support system here with people who've been there.
