Partner gets mad when I don't buy him alcohol
Hey everyone,
My partner has admitted to me he has a drinking problem, it largely doesn't affect me so I don't bother him about it. Been going through the 12 steps for awhile - I respect his need to drink, I'm setting boundaries, etc.
He has broken his leg recently (a drinking accident) and he's largely dependent on my help - this means buying him alcohol. I have been refusing, dodging the question, saying I will do it later. I just don't feel comfortable with it, and I've explained it to him. I've said he's free to drink as much as he likes, I just don't want to be complicit in it.
This has mad him really argumentative and angry, yelling that I'm making his broken leg all about me. I don't plan on backing down from this any time soon, but I can't help doubting myself. Am I really being selfish and thinking too much about this? Is asking for a 6 pack when he's under a lot of stress and pain so bad?
Some advice would be so helpful! This is a very wise community after all.
