Okay the name is Danielle. Im 21 years old and I have been dating a man named Paul for 6 months now. He is the love of my life. He is older than I am and he does have a past. He did 14 month in prison for a dui. He maxed out the time in order to not do probation. He has an ex wife and two children who he provides for to the best of his ability. He does not take advantage. He does not hurt me. He is not a bad person, he just got cought up in a poor decision. He treats me so good and cares about me. We talk about marriage in a serious matter ad about having a family. My problem is this: My boyfriend is an alcoholic- which I am dealing with him. He sees he has a bad drinking pattern and has pointed it out to me before I noticed it myself. We are working on this together. But right now while we save up for a place he is at his parents ( And don't worry he owned his own home up North He is not a dead beat or a loser.) Well his father has decided to kick him out, and with what I can honestly say is for no logical reason. He is a scape goat and that's easy to see with what happens. So no this guy is down on his luck and I love him, but are we bad for each other. We are all each other has, and are we this catalyst towards one another who are harming more then helping? Should I try and let him go so he will just go home and be safe. As of right now he is stranded outside. My parents love him and offered for him to stay but he feels he should be offering me a place. Taking care of me. I want him to be safe. He says Im all he has. And I know he loves me as much as I love him, but should I let him go. Should I tell him goodbye even though he doesn't want to hear it? Or should I stand by him and continue to be his "rock of gibralter" as he referred to me earlier, and stick it out with him till we meet our goals. This situation is upsetting because I want him to be safe and warm, but I am not being put into a perdicument I am uncomfartable with. I want to know what my actions should be for HIS best intentions. HIS, I am in love with him and want to do what best for him.
