I have been seeing someone for about a year, have known him for over 10 yrs. He was clean for years and three years ago he relasped. He has been sober on and off since. He recently had a relapse again last weekend and says that he needs to dive back in to AA and get his head straight and he needs space from me. I have always been there for him previously and never have been pushed away, it went from 100% of being in love and all was good to in a matter of a couple days, extreme distance. What do I do or what is the best way to support him, I'm afraid if I leave him alone and don't talk to him, he will think I'm not supportive, then I'm afraid if I ask too many questions, it will not be good. I would appreciate any advice.
