My partner is alcohol dependent And it feels like it doesn’t Matter what you do they’ll find a reason to argue.

Mention alcohol and it flares up a argument, done mention alcohol and it flares up a argument because it shows you don’t care.

Mention anything to do with detox, Health issues she has due to alcoholism & etc will result in arguments. Don’t mention the health issues and your back to arguments because you don’t care, when you do mention it again she just say am not ready to tell you and she’ll tell you laters.

Throw in lies and the constant shitty comments from her.

But of course we’ll never understand each person’s reason to drink, but as you say if anyone knows anything am welcome to hear it too.

Your not a lone straight up.

Robb,

Your response brings re-assurance. Much appreciated! I’m working on improving my detachment factor. Have a long way to go. Moving out is a realistic option for her. All the more grating. I guess that goes in the ‘no accountability’, text-book alcoholic thinking factor. It’s a shitty coaster all-round. That said, I’m thinking it’s gotta be worse for a spouse.

Break a leg Robb.

You’re not alone.

StraightUp.

If you want to read what it’s been like with my partner, I’ve written a post about the 8 years together. Just click my name, and look for “my life experiences”.

She’s said it herself, that she’ll rather push all the people she cares about away so she doesn’t hurt any more. Full well knowing she can’t cope without her family or friends by her side.
