Maybe leaving him is just a good decision for you to make for him to realize his mistakes. Hopefully your leaving him would make him do the right thing in life. don't lose hope on him. Changes can sometimes happen and maybe your life with him would be better. But if you decide to leave for good do it for his own sake.

if you really feel that your relationship is going nowhere even if you love him i think what you're planning to do, will be good for you and maybe this will make your boyfriend realize what he will be missing.

If he is not doing right and you are not happy, you might be better off being by yourself. I mean you can do bad by yourself why be with someone who is not going to add any value to the relationship. Sometimes the one we love is not always the right one for us. Maybe if you leave he will realize the good thing he has and put himself together.

If you are unhappy then I would not stay. Sometimes love is not enough. I do not want to decide for you but you have your life ahead of you and it is not worth it to live unhappy. I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do.

Is he or was he in a program (like NA) to support his sobriety? An addict is always an addict. If he's acting oddly suddenly, and not caring about one's appearence & not having money despite working long hours sounds odd to me- I'd assume he's using again. Encourage him to get involved in NA but be ready to get out if he doesn't choose to get help.

i would seriously do something about this. if he wants to have you and a life give him an ultimatium tell him its either you or whatever he is hiding. if he doesnt choose or wont answer then that is all you can do you have stayed with him and supported him for long time but now you must get on with your life or you will lose so many years and who knows if you stay with him there may not be a relationship to save.

i am not really sure what it is you are asking. you made a list of things but are you asking to stay or go. and my motto is if you have to ask then you already know the answer, which means leave, run for the hills and never look back

BORICUAMOM you see and feel things that bothers you a lot and I know you love him but you have to think what will happen in the future. Nobody can dectate you on what to do everything is your choice. In every choice you choose their is always a consequence. So better think and act now.

I m not much to talk my husband is having trouble with taking pain maedication. He only work once in awhile. I give him all my money. He does well paying the bills. but hes driving me crazy as well. I almost left him as well but I love him.. I guess my only advise is if you love him #1 IS COMMINICATION TALK TO HIM. you stated you love him dont give up on him that easy. Its really up to you how much you can handle at this point until you get answers from him.. Find out whats going on with him before making a impulsive decision you may regret later. The worst thing is to leave and not know why your leaving. You cant always go back....
