Could the man of your life be someone who made a fool of himself each time he hit the bottle? (and he did regularly)
"May I ask why you want to know this? "
I got a friend who is an acoholic, I sometimes go with him to AA meetings, and there's lots of couples where one of them has the problem and the other just struggles to keep the relationship afloat.
I was just wondering to what extent should anyone, in this case a woman, try to fight to keep the relationship going.
I've gone through phases in life where I've partied way more than I should have, with both friends and significant others.
While I feel complete sympathy and empathy for those with addiction issues, I couldn't be with someone that was comfortable with being an alcoholic or a drug addict.
If it was a long term partner, and I loved him, and he fell into that scene, the only way I'd stay was if he was willing and wanting to get help through AA or rehab etc. As long as he was making a serious effort, I'd probably try to give things a chance.
If he didn't think he had a problem and it was obvious to everyone else that he did, then I'd be gone for sure... Life's too short to get dragged down like this.
Not possible, I would be gone,gone gone. What can a drunk do for a wet pussy?
No, quite simply.
I mean - okay, I've gone out, gotten wasted and made a tit of myself... And I've done it more than once, it's because I'm quite a lightweight. But I've realized, it's not funny. I've looked after drunk friends as well - and then it's really not funny. If I was out with my partner, and they did it once, it'd be embarassing enough, but if it was an every-time every-week thing... We couldn't last.
My boyfriend drinks a lot (4 nights a week) but he is the nicest sweetest drunk ever. He has never abused me physically or mentally. I vowed I would never change him and luckily his drunk behaviour has never made me want to...
No way I'd have to throw away his booze and beat his ass for being a fool if he did that all the time. Having a bender once in a great while is ok though.

Bunny Rabbits cute and fuzzy they want to love you but they have razor sharp teeth - don't piss them off! I had a wild time in college, and partied 7 days a week. Did too many things i never should have, any many things i wish i could again.
Mostly i am a social drinker now, occasionally have a beer or a brandy alone, but never get drunk alone. Maybe once or twice a year i will let loose, and go all out. I do not enjoy it as much as when i was single and could do as i liked. So i limit myself.
my wife tells me, that i am as calm drunk as when sobre.
As you guys know, I love to drink, but I mostly drink at social events. I rarely hit the bottle at home. When i get "drunk", what happens is I become more aware and my senses are heightened, not lowered, but i still get that killer hangover. As for having a man who regularly is drunk can really get in the way of our relationship. For one, drunkenness affects memory and of course emotion. He probably won't remember anything I tell him and won't take me seriously.
