It seems like a lot of people speak as though alcoholics are hopeless human beings not worthy of love. To me, God is way bigger than alcoholism and there is hope. My own father was a recovering alcoholic and my mother stood by him and we never loved him less because of it. We did not abandon my dad and he overcame. I think you are missing the difference between being there for your husband, which you have promised to love through sickness and health or your only father and a boyfriend of 3 months. There is a reason that we don't get married on the first date...we "try people on" to see if they "fit". This guy is missing a sleeve and you are saying he is a perfectly good piece of clothing. He doesn't fit anyone at this point. Ask yourself why you are allowing, no, insisting that you be yoked to a boyfriend who cares more for alcohol than you?

I just saw a great quote on another post: Exactly...
Erwin, dating is not about trying to salvage a bad relationship, it's about finding a good relationship to begin with.
If you are so miserable, why are you in it? You are just wasting your time with Ms. Wrong, why??
