I finally worked up enough guts...perhaps collected my emotions, and held it together enough to mention, without crying-my issue with my partner's drinking. To his face. He was awake and it was just before he was going to drink more.
I told him, 'Y'know you shouldn't expect me to always be around...or for even much longer...I don't care for drinking all the time (as a habit) in someone I am with. 'Well then, it's a good thing that this is my last drink.' He replied.
'What, are you going to kill yourself?'
'No. This is going to be my last drink, and then I intend it to stay that way.'
I was very relieved, but also skeptical. I mean, I believe I'veggie heard this before. But, then again, I don't think I have ever threatened him with my leaving.
I am just wondering how long this resolve will last.
