It seems like it should be that simple, right?

Unfortunately, with addiction, anything that requires time and attention away from drinking eventually becomes an obstacle. He doesn't want to have to concern himself with a relationship at all.

I have to ask, however--why don't you mind his drinking? You deserve a partner who is present with you, not numbing his senses and emotions with a drug.

I'm with the others, at only two months in, I think you have dodged a bullet here. It sounds like your self-esteem could use a boost that doesn't come from being in a relationship with someone else, but from having a healthy relationship with yourself.
