I 37/F have been dating my man, 33/M. I’ll continue to call him my man, or man, idiot, cutie, ect. Kidding… So when him and I first met we non stopped talked, he’s actually really funny. His personality is care free, and it first I thought it was a positive personality trait. I only see him on the weekends whenever we’re both not busy. He drank beer and liquor on the weekends. He gets really annoying when he drinks liquor. He turns into a victim and literally he always wants me to apologize to him - for nothing. I never do, but I told him not to drink around me. That’s all, if he wanted to do his own thing on the weekends then just don’t invite me over. He never understood that. Then he quit drinking. He went through the whole schizophrenic phase talking to electronics. He thought the HOA was coming to his duplex so he deep cleaned his portion. He went back to somewhat normal. He went sober for maybe 2 weeks. Then he would take the garbage out twice in a day lol. He would go to the basement to do laundry and I could hear the beer can open. I’m not his boss as he isn’t mine, but he’s a really good guy just not to himself. I care about him, I could possibly love him eventually but he drinks to the point he can’t move off the couch sometimes. He hasn’t managed to make it to the bathroom sometimes. I know he needs help. I know he doesn’t want it. I now also know I can’t help him. I’m not in the position to sit by and wait for him to want to change his behavior. Does anyone have With having someone like this in my life? It’s easy for me to emotionally walk away, but I honestly am hesitant because I don’t want to make things worse for him or anything. How did everyone cope with something like this? That’s completely out of their control? submitted by /u/Mother-Can-5130
