Help
Hi,
I'm a gay male who has been with my partner for over 15 years. He was an alcoholic before we met, but had stopped drinking prior to us meeting. About 7 years ago he started drinking again. I've lost all be friends and have completely lost myself in my relationship. Thats my fault. I've finally come to that realization. It's been a long, long road. Everything that I've read has told me to take care of myself and not focus on his drinking. But, I have a problem. I have always gone out on the weekends to lunch or dinner with him because I like being with him, but then it always ends up with me having to drag him out of the restaurant or bar. I told him a few days ago that I really didn't want to go out with him anymore if he was going to drink when we went out. Well...he hasn't spoken with me for three days. I don't know what to do. Do I just go out with him or stand my ground. Everything I've read says to do my own thing and not to argue about drinking, but nothing says anything about what to do if an alcoholic is contantly on you to go out with him. Please help!
Thanks, Mike
