Much the same with me. My XABF was always sweet as can be with me, but no amount of getting things into the open changed our relationship. I think that's what alwayscovering might be getting at - does anything we say actually change the relationship? My BF and I were always quite honest with one another, actually, so there was never a big moment when I bared my soul to him and told him how I really felt. He always knew and I always knew how he felt. There was no big revealing magic moment with the swelling orchestra. We shared our soul deep, heartfelt truths many, many times. It was our way. He remains an active alcoholic from sunup to sundown.
