DEAR ABBY: i am aware i've been endowed with wonderful relationships within my life. I've been hitched into the same man that is lovely 25 years. I will be additionally lucky to possess had the same friend that is best for 40 years. The situation? They drink.
Due to previous behavior, I made a decision to obtain sober 2 yrs ago. I'm sure I will not manage to take in socially once more. I changed; they did not.
We all have been really alcoholics that are high-functioning. We never skip work and lead, when it comes to part that is most, effective everyday lives. They are loved by me both a great deal. My better half is adoring and supportive. My closest friend and I also have actually been through every thing together. But Abby, i cannot stay them after 8 p.m. and after that they both repeat exactly the same things again and again, and tell me personally exactly how much they love me (in a slurry, sloppy method).
My entire life is not bad, but this will be making me personally miserable. I am perhaps maybe maybe not asking I wish they'd just slow down some that they quit drinking entirely, but for the sake of our relationship. ...
