Hi,

I'm new here and need some advice. I've been iwiht my bf for 10.5 years, living with him for 7 years. I did not know that he was a heavy drinker until I moved in with him. Needless to say his drinking has gotten worse over the years. After numerous times of trying to help him, telling him that I would leave if he did not stop drinking, he never did anything and yesterday I finally broke up with him. When he drinks he abuses me mentally and verbally (never physically) and that has got me tired. After I told him that I am breaking up he said he would stop drinking and that he is going to change, he kept begging me to give him a chance, and I feel terrible for leaving him as I do love him, but I'm just tired of all of these years putting up with the drinking and everything that comes with it. I feel so horrible and bad, as I see him cry and beg me for another chance, but I've giving him so many chances everyday that I stuck by him and did not leave was another chance. I'm confused I'm not sure if I am doing the right thing by leaving him...

Any thoughts?

Thanks for reading and your comments.
