I regret marrying my ex. He abuses lots of things, including alcohol. I didn't see it because I was drinking when I married him. I thought the problem was me. Then, I dealt with my depression and my alcoholism, and he resented me for getting better. He's repeating the cycle now and dating people he can party with. Marriage isn't always a party, though, and when times get tough being married to an alcoholic leaves you to weather the storm alone.
