bbboricua03 Honestly, I think he knows what's best for him, and maybe it's just not something he wants to talk with you about. You need to stop thinking about yourself, and take his feelings into consideration. However, if there are still things you feel you need to...

madonna143 I had my deals with an alcoholic lover. Its really very hard. I can understand where you come from. I do hope that you would be able to convince him in trying to stay sober. I'm sorry to inform you that I failed and bailed out on the relationship.

streak_tlu Like the others have mentioned, I think that going to the meetings would be something beneficial if you could find a sitter for the kids. Also, just take the time to really educate yourself on the things that he is going through. Nobody can understand what...

Aali311 It sounds like you are both going through some rough times, I think it'll be ok, just give things some time and be there for him, just to talk or to take a walk, things will get better eventually, you'll see.

GlaciersofIce Anonymous...is part of the process. People at those meetings need to feel that they are in a 'safe' area where their issues will not be judged, since the others there also have the same issues with alcohol.

patgalca This is tough because you really want him to stay clean, don't you? How long has he been clean? I married an alcoholic and I thought I could help him, but I couldn't. He had to help himself. It sounds like your boyfriend is trying to help himself. Can you not...
