Is it normal for alcoholics to move quick in a relationship. In the beginning he had already told me he was going to propose to me. 2 months in he was making plans of moving in together. His ex wife he proposed to on the first day he met her.

Is this the drinking problem or something else going on?
My opinion with some not all but many A’s is that they are always chasing the “next high” whether that is with booze/drugs, gambling, sex, people, risky behaviors, relationships, etc. When they no longer feel that high they are on to getting the next one.

Some A’s just need that comfort of having someone close but many people are like that. I have a friend who cannot be without a relationship with a man because of how being in a relationship makes her feel about herself. Doesn’t matter if it’s a good relationship or if he treats her nice it’s just all about her ability to say she is not alone.
