You're not responsible for his pain. Neither is anyone else - no matter where it comes from. He is.
Yes, this is hard for you too. And you're not into it anymore (finally - right?). There's no book or rule out here that says Life is always easy. Right now - you're having to go through your own hard / challenging time in life. And such is life.
Just like he simply can't drink again - ever. You have to bite the bullet and start putting yourself first. To hell with others that call you selfish. Yeah! AND?!!
Jeez!
i had a stiff upper lip today! Thank you 💖 honestly I’ve only been “stronger“ because I posted on here. He was just so rude to me and I put my foot down and then he tried to manipulate me and make me feel bad, but I caught it. I ended it but now he’s saying “we aren’t breaking up we’ve been through too much” so I’m just not replying. I’m being tough. Thank you 💖❤️
