Answer 5

I am in this situation right this minute.

I was madly in love with a man and engaged to him. I would stay with him forever. He was all I ever wanted/needed from life.

WELL. He moved in to the house I was renting, we bought it together, but soon I was seeing changes. It seemed everyday he had a problem with something. He was turning mean, and was real good at blaming me.

It seemed like no matter what I did, he found a problem with it. One by one, the good things I loved about him were just disintegrating.

He turned abusive, mentally and physically, controlling, and it hurt so very much. Mostly because I couldn`t understand what was happening.

Then one day I had to go in to the basement for something, and found a MOUNTAIN of Seagrams bottles there. Believe me when I say, I had absolutely NO IDEA!

You could no more tell he was drinking than anything!

I knew he drank beer, a couple a day, so that was what I could smell.

It`s been a long road, and 10 years now. He hasn`t layed a finger on me in 3+ years, since he broke my nose on my birthday and I slammed a frying pan upside his head, then he went to jail.

It sounds so violent, I know. That was the worst. I do know he never wanted to hurt me, he has a disease. An illness he can`t get control of.

I have been in counseling now for 3 years because it destroys your self-esteem.

I have just recently decided to move out of my home that I love so much. Just walking away.

We have had separate bdrms for years, don`t kiss, hug, talk, go places, s*x, nada. Just joined by this house. I can`t stay anymore, it`s been so hard to finally get to where I don`t care. I am moving out, and moving on with my life. I won`t look back. It takes alot out of a person to be with an alcoholic. I can`t take back all the time it took to learn this, but I`m not dead yet, and still have years to live a happy life. I will feel very sad for him, the love just doesn`t go away.

(by the way, I know now the very second he has had even a sip of alcohol. You learn)

Answer 7

My ex-boyfriend's meth addiction was really bad.  Finally I got the encouragement and help I needed to leave him.  It wasn't easy, but I did it.
