Ummmmmm, What Red3215 said.

I know from a long-ago highly dysfunctional relationship that it's easy to mix up compassion/pity for love.

You are choosing to have a healthier life mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually by not drinking. Wouldn't it be great to have a partner who was like minded? Think about that for a minute.

Whereas it might make sense to wait for a year of sobriety before moving across the country, one doesn't have to wait a year to move out of a run-down, apartment with roach infestation to a clean, beautiful new place in a safe part of town.

Most importantly, IMO, you are not married to this guy. Don't impose on yourself the commitment obligations thereof. Even if you were, a guy who pushes you down in public, injured or not, would be , in my estimation, a ripe candidate to be an ex-husband, drinking or not.

Congratulations on your 100 days! Wishing you the best life ahead.
