If you care for him you’ll leave. If he gets cleaned up then you could see him again but you are only enabling him if you stay with him. He needs to understand that there are consequences for his actions and that it is not acceptable behavior. If you want to find him some help try this website: http://www.alcoholtreatmentclinics.com

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! I am 57 years old and I have been back and forth trying to help the love of my life! Well… now I can see after all this time that he is not going to change, he has ruined my life, I am about to lose my house, and at this stage of the game I DON’T CARE. LEAVE NOW, DON’T LOOK BACK!

Leave this man, he will ruin your life, trust me I know. I also tried to stand by my man, he is a drunk and now my little baby daughter will have to deal with a drunken idiot dad her whole life and my heart breaks for her. RUN don’t walk, you are not responsible for him and trust me he will never do right by you or any children you may have by him. Life is too short and there are good men out there, this man is NOT one of them

Dump this guy unless you want a poverty stricken future with no holidays, deformed kids and a criminal record. If he’s such a good guy he will put himself in rehab. Every instinct you have is screaming that this is wrong. Get him to hell out of your life. If you make excuses for him - because you love him - you’d better be ready to stand at the graveside with your probably addicts in the future kids and - bury him.
You have a future and so does he. Right now it’s not a future you can have together. Get on with your life and stay strong - do him a favour and tell him exactly - by letter if you want - why you dont want to give up your hopes and dreams to go and drink whisky. just do it - you are going to go down with him otherwise. Leave him , dump him and dont look back

There’s a limit to what your patience’s limits should go for. Be for him, but if he starts walking all over you then it’s time to move on.
