[quote=Anonymous]Boyfriend and I are in our early thirties and are like two peas in a pod. We adore each other, take care of each other, and support each other. We laugh, have fun, have a great sex life, respect each other, and overall have a wonderful relationship. We've been together for two years.

My boyfriend is a highly educated professional who's well-respected in his field. He has a ton of adoring friends and a loving family. Recently we have discussed marriage.

But here's the thing: my boyfriend is an alcoholic. He doesn't get wildly drunk, but he drinks every day. He has a drink before going to work and drinks a few throughout the day. He was sober for four months last year and his personality stayed the same - easygoing and cheerful - but he really threw himself into his work, working 12 - 14 hours a day, and a lot on the weekends.

He treats me like gold, has never raised his voice, pays his bills, is organized, is well-liked. As far as I'm concerned, he's perfect outside of the drinking. I am at a loss. I have never had a relationship that even comes close to this. Would it really be so terrible to marry him??[/quote]
