Everyone has a breaking point I think, whether they are the addict themselves or a spouse/loved one/significant other. That's how i felt as an addict when I finally quit drinking too - I was simply exhausted of the pain that alcohol was causing me and those around me.
What's most important now though is taking care of yourself....even though you were not the addict in the relationship you need to heal.
