Well, it has been awile since I posted on here.
I did it, I left in July and I haven't been back. Too many promises broken, no attempts to quit....I had had enough.
I went on a trip and I never came back. Just like that, he is out of my life. I am glad i didn't marry him, I would have been miserable. I am taking a sort of sabbatical to get to know ME and what I want and need....I don't want to make the same mistakes again.

It was scary and I have NO idea what my future holds, but I will not live with another alcoholic. Not ever. That was pure misery.

Now when I go to sleep at night I don't have to worry about some drunk waking me up wanting to talk or argue or whatever........

Congrats to you! I am on sabbatical too. I want to find out why I stayed as long as I did, I want to learn to see the signs I didn't see with my XAH. I would rather be alone and happy that together and convoluted. I am so happy to hear from you again and glad to know you are doing great.

Welcome back Tuffenuff!

Like you and NoChoice, I too am refraining from relationships so that I may concentrate on 'me' and learning the whys of my previous choices in effort not to repeat the same mistakes.

Actually, I think I have the understanding part down, but I'm just enjoying the peace and lack of conflict too much right now to let anybody in (relationship wise that is). I kind of enjoy being a little selfish!!!

Alone and happy? You betcha!

I like the way you put it, a sabbatical. That's where I am too.

Congrats on taking action for you.
