I'm very sad about it but also noted previously his drinking and the fact that he has severe snoring and apnea. Thanks for the information because I realize now that it's better for me to get out now and not get more attached to another alcoholic and have the break be harder later. Thanks for the post. I REALLY need it today - you're a Godsend and please let me know how your situation resolved.

You have done so well, it can be really hard. I posted an update, and to be honest I "cheated" in how we broke up.. , 'he' left over a completely separate issue and I probably would have stayed longer...ie it was not actually me who left him.... even though I wanted too, I felt guilted by his manipulative stories.. I should have the same zero tolerance for drinking as I did the porn and other things. But am getting stronger each year
