Ok..so I've been seeing this guy for 2 years. He is an admitted alcoholic and I knew that when we started dating. He had been sober for about a year when we started..he had a relapse shortly into our relationship..which was miserable...but has been sober for the last 1 1/2 years. He relapsed again 3 weeks ago. We live together, his name is on the lease as well as mine so I can't kick him out. When sober, he is the best guy ever..thoughtful, hard-working, considerate, aware of his addiction, and extremely intelligent..however..when drunk..he becomes beligerant, destructive, looks for trouble, and blacks out. So my question is...he has asked for help..he has no where to go...his family loves him..but are unwilling to deal with him...our friends are fed up with him,..he got fired from his job last week..now he is wollering in a pile of self-pity without many options...should I stay and try and help as he has asked...or should I just walk away and leave him to his own devices?
