minime13 & to all that reads this thread forgive me for I think I mislead you to believe that this man I'm talking about is just a friend . We our companions - known as a couple for 4 years ," but we do not live together" . That's the only difference . We are both close to each other's children as a family would be .
I put this up to ask for suggestions to try to help me figure out how to deal with his drinking - For I became sober after we met .
I believe it's his right to drink . He will quit if & when he wants to - I can't make him any more than he could of me .
Thank you for all of your useful suggestions . I guess it was also to rant & whine
I'm working through it ,cause I think he's worth it .
From now on I will just read treads & links in " family matters" likes these .
