It's really insightful to read these types of posts. And I thank you guys for them. I have PTSD. I'm pretty sure my husband has some form of it or another type of undiagnosed issue. He's also an alcoholic. We've been together for about 3 years, but took a break of 7 months because things were so bad. Everything he did was triggering me and double that with his drinking. Now we are back in the same boat. Married this time. And he's drinking again pretty decently. But I've decided this week that I'm giving up drinking. I can't ask him to do the same.
Anyways, the point of my post is that since one of my fears is losing him, these posts about successful relationships are helpful. Even though I'm in therapy, it helps to read about all of your stories to see it actually helping. People succeeding, even in small ways. I hope to have a long, successful relationship with this guy. And thanks!
