"It doesn't count that he hit me/choked me/stole pills from my roommate/ other stuff I can't remember - because he was drunk and/or stoned and can't remember it."
"Love conquers all"
"He needs me to provide a good example of living sober"
Can you guess if he ever followed my good example? You have only one guess.
My God it is stunning to write this out.

"Family and friends can help an addicted person become sober"
"People with a mental illness need their family and friends"
(I agree with both statements. However also believe that it's a fine line between supporting someone to become healthier, and being manipulated by someone who wants to maintain control and the status quo and has NO interest in getting better...)

I swear I mean it this time!
Maybe his eyes are red and glossy because he really is "tired"
Sure I believe you.
Well at least he's not that bad...
No I don't know where the keys are
Ok ya that pipe must have been the previous tenants behind our dryer (we just moved in 6 months ago)

Suncatcher right there with you. I also thought about if I was more fun he would want to spend his time with me rather than his drinking friends I must be boring and if I was more attractive he wouldn't reject me.

If he loved me enough/if I love him enough I can get him sober/he would choose sobriety
He's out drinking more since he left me it must have been my fault I wasn't good enough for him
Him leaving isn't about him wanting to drink it's about me and it's my fault he has left he just didn't want to tell me the truth
