I would appreciate any thoughts on my situation.
About 10 years ago I met a man and after a few years we started dating. He accepted my Aspergers and didn't find me strange like other people do. We are living together for 6 years. In the beginning we were happy but he developed a serious drinking problem and its affecting his health. He was drinking before we met, it just got a lot worse over the years. Living together got very stressful. He lost his job and his friends because of his drinking.
I've tried my best to support him through the difficult times but it's all getting too much for me. He does not want to stop drinking. I feel the best thing for me to do is end the relationship. It's so difficult though. I feel guilty about it. It will mean moving back to my parents. And I may never meet another man who will accept me.
I feel very confused about this relationship.
