opinions please

by Ellie in

friends

would you all please give me your honest opinions.. if you were in a relationship with someone who through alcohol had let you down badly in the past, how would you feel about them going out a lot?.

how much freedom would you give them?.

would you think it reasonable for them to either go out without you once a week, sometimes staying out all night but certainly till very late?.

I think you know the answers to your questions are obvious. Here are some more questions with obvious answers:

Should you continue in a relationship where your partner has a continuing dependency on drugs and alcohol?

If that's your kid in the picure, is this the kind of example you want to give your child? Not just his example of using but also your example of accepting that behavior in your family.

Do you believe this man loves you enough to stop? If so, why hasn't he? If he claims he has, and you believe he does love you enough to stop, then what is making you distrust him? Could it be your instinct trying to steer you away from a negative relationship- but you don't want to listen? It's never to late to make a good choice for your family.

Don't sweat it Sass, I was the same way. I would feel guilty about not being more outspoken about my beliefs, not being the first one to hop out of the car to knock on the next door. It's easier for some people. It's like sales, some people are born with it, some aren't. Even now, as a Christian, I'll defend my beliefs, but it's hard for me to initiate a conversation, I get dead nervous. It's stage fright- just because you get it doesn't mean that you don't believe the play is a work of art- that's ridiculous!
