Hey bro, I hope you don’t mind but I was hoping you’d could help me out a little? Obviously I know every relationship is different but one of the things I struggle with most now even now I am sober is the destruction I left behind and ultimately that my partner left me and I only get to see my daughter at weekends. I selfishly think that now I’m not doing bad things or lying etc that I should be forgiven and all should be forgotten but she has made it clear that she doesn’t think she could ever be in a relationship with me again after the things I did. I never cheated or did anything seedy. What I did do however, was hide my money or how much I was earning, lie about where I was or said I was working late all the time or make up elaborate stories as to why I wasn’t home.
I was wondering how you and your partner began to take steps towards being a couple again and if the prior addiction and behaviour still effects your relationship now?
Hope you don’t mind as that I guess is quite personal to ask so please don’t feel you have to answer.
Thanks again pal, keep fighting the good fight
