I've been seeing someone for 9 months. He was sober when I met him after being an alcoholic. I've known him for a few years and we did previously date when he was drinking a couple of years back.
He had really got his life back on track. Was working, exercising, seeing his children, had somewhere to live. All good.
He was furloughed at the start of lockdown. He wasn't able to see his children as they lived far away and one was shielding. He lost his home as the owner needed to sell. Everything that kept his life stable was gone and he started drinking again. This was manageable whilst the pubs were closed but now it's at a whole new level. I want to help him get his life back on track but don't really know how. I guess there isn't anything I can really do.
I've been considering ending the relationship. I have strong feelings for him and am finding it hard to make the break. Ideally I would like to support him and he'd get better but that takes him to want to do that and I don't think he does yet.
Any advice?
