People often underestimate what merely being straightforward and honest can do to help change a situation. I am delighted to hear that your partner stopped drinking and the beer has become a non player in your mutual happiness. I have been overwhelmed with work lately and am just getting to some of the questions that have been around- just can't underestimate the help of the whole network in solving a problem!
Wow! That's great. Best of luck to you in the future~~
Wow, he quit just like that? Good for him. Good for you.
gee whiz...he's easy huh?
either that or he TRULY love you!!
thanks for the update...
he quit...and then said that he wanted to marry me...(i am newly divorced) and I was like "well that is sweet" when in my head i was thinking "no way"....I am in no way ready to get married again for quite a while
hmmmm...not to be a skeptic but that seems a bit too soon and a bit too good to be true. red flag? like, as soon as we get married i will/can start drinking again? you are SMART to wait...just in case i am right! LOL!
That is exactly what I was thinking.....His drinking is not really a problem...I can understand A beer (notice the capitilization of the letter A i.e meaning one/two) after a hard day's work, but not a twelve pack....And marriage is not on my list of things to do....I have a three year old son by my ex....and it has took a great deal of patience and calmness to be "friends" with my ex husband for the sake of my son (ex was abusive, physically and mentally)....and I am not ready to say "what is mine is yours and what is yours is mine" ever again......
glad to hear it's working out for you. and bravo to you for wanting to wait for marriage with him....for all the right reasons :)
Wow,talk about women power!!! Congrats & have fun!!!
