I've just found out that my partner is an alcoholic three days ago and I haven't stopped crying.
I feel like my whole life has crumbled under my feet.
I hadn't seen him for four days before he told me and he kept saying that he's sick. He didn't go to work for three days. On Wednesday night it all came out over the phone. He broke down and told me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I feel shattered and have been in a total haze for the last three days.
As soon as he told me I went to pick him up from his house and brought him over to mine.
He was with me for two nights. On the morning after the second night I told him that I love him but can't help him.
I guess I feel betrayed. I really thought that I could go through it with him and my immediate reaction was that I wanted to help him.
What's even more confusing is that my closest friend's partner has a recovering alcoholic mum. She has been sober for 15 years and her advice was to walk away immediately....
Please, can someone give me their thoughts? As obviously most you have partners. I would especially like to hear from people with partners that don't drink and haven't had a drinking problem.
thanks all
