What do I do?
Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2015 1:53 pm
I am new to this site, and I am hoping to maybe get some answers to my questions and concerns..
I have been with my significant other for over a year. He is older then me but we went to school together. He was a jock and I was a nerdy girl who maybe has two close friends. He went through his high school career popular and almost got a scholarship to play football for a really good college.. but something happened his junior year and he decided not to pursue his football career. I feel like this is where all the problems started. He started drinking at a very young age because that's what everyone did. He's 28 years old now and still drinks like he is back in high school, he says he wants help some days and then others he says he doesn't have a problem. He says he loves me more then he loves alcohol but he doesn't know how to stop but I think it is more that he doesn't want to stop.. I don't know what to do, he says he needs me and I do love him when he's sober.. but drunk hes a mean and spiteful person. How can I get him to understand if he says he wants help he actually has to do something?
