I know how hard it is living wiht an alcoholic. My exstepdad used to be an alcoholic. My mother ended up leaving him over it (among other things). I remember the day she left him and think of how strong she was. He was crying (it was the first time I had seen him do this) and even I felt bad for him. It's been over 5 years since their divorce, now, and She is dating him again. Right after they split up, he tried getting her back, he went and got help and everything, but she just couldn't handle that and four kids. He has been attending meetings now for years and has completely changed. I think she is alot happier with him now, and is really enjoying being back with him.

I think if you really, really love him then maybe try sticking it through, or just taking some time apart while he gets help wiht the problem. I think love can make it through anything, it just depends how hard you want to fight for it.

However, if he really doesn't want to get help, and doesn't want to try, I think it really shows that he just (TBH) doesn't care. In this case, I think you would be better off finding somone who makes you happy.

good luck with everything. hope it works out, either way.

Glad that he is getting the help that he needs. You are going to be busy enough with the baby let alone trying to take care of his alcoholism. Keep your chin up, it will all work out. I wish you only the best. We are all here for you.

sounds like ur floating in the same boat as me. my OH had to do the same few months back to get off canabis etc, im still standing my ground though were not living together until he has a job and if that means im gona probably ring him 1 day and tell him that the babies just smiled/crawled or even walked for the first time and hes missed it then so be it! x
