I'm so absolutely miserable. All the abuse. The name calling. The tears. The lies.
The him getting sobre then falling off the wagon.
The trying to support him.
The trying to believe he will gey better.

I generally am so goddam unhappy. 😫

Sorry it’s grim,Will it improve I doubt it only he can do this.Can you leave?Sometimes whatever you do it is never enough.Please get help for yourself,Do you have children to consider?Good luck.

I love him so much I feel like my heart is absolutely breaking but I'm absolutely miserable.
I packed my bags to leave but I just don't have the strength to walk out the door.

No kids . Not yet. Its not a place for them when he can't stay sobre.

Do you have somewhere to go to for a while to give yourself a break?You need to look after yourself.Yes’it is very sad,please seek advice because you alone can’t help him,he needs professional help and want to stop drinking.Will he be willing to face the challenge?Take care of yourself.

He came out of hospital detoxing 3 weeks ago and has fallen again. Hes great for the first week then thinks he can drink and he can't because he's a addict. Then it all goes to shit.

I have nowhere to go and he knows I don't so I'm just stuck here unhappy and watching him kill himself.

You have to find the strength to leave. Nobody, no amount of love and patience, can ‘cure’ an alcoholic unless they want to stop and seek help themselves. He is clearly in denial that he cannot drink safely and so shouldn’t drink at all. Until (if/when) that lightbulb goes off in his head, nothing will change.

Do you work? Do you have any friends or family you could stay with temporarily?

If you don’t get out and end the relationship, this misery will be your life.
