Ahhh I’m so pleased for you, and him! Sometimes we can’t give up on people, especially if we know what great partners they used to me. I’d like to think my partner would stand by me if i had a mid-life crisis! Relapses are common but no unsurmountable, and like you said, if you’re keeping yourself strong then you can both deal with it. I might try Al anon. I need some support too, these boards can be quiet sometimes.
Am happy you’re on a more positive path now though. 🙂 xxx
