I have known my partner for a decade and lived with him for two years.
He had Hepatitis C, but was cured of it before he moved in, after a
year of drug treatment - but he STILL drinks! He is an alcoholic and in
denial.

I knew that years ago, but thought I could change him - silly me! In
March, I kicked him out for being verbally abusive and it wasn't the
first time. After six weeks, I took him back - fool that I was.

I can never rely on him to have his share of the rent(utilities
included) and he rarely spends money on grocery shopping. This past
week, he began a new full-time job, for which he must arise at 4:30 am.

He is thankfully too tired to drink and/or go out after work.I can
manage my home financially on my own, but it would be tight. I will be
going to college for eight months in January. After that, I'll have a
really well compensated job.

If the rent is late one more time, I will tell him to leave. My name is
the only one on the lease. It's just too emotionally draining to have
to worry about this every month. I have a wonderful 12yo daughter from
another relationship.

Blessings,
