I have been with my partner on and off for 3 years, in this time he has, I think, had a drink problem but has got slowly worse and worse. He can't keep a job for more than 2 months, sometimes can't go to work becuase of his hangover, often he buys no food or electric (he has his own flat) but is in the pub drinking.
He has promised me so many times he will give up but always goes back to it. He never used to drink everyday but in the last few months he had drunk nearly every day and when I go to collect him (I only live 5 doors away from the pub), it's always one for the road.
I've had enough of his lies, cheating, borrowing money, lack of pride in his apperance and generally letting us down. He's also been very violent and abussive when drunk and tries to blame me for his actions (I don't drink anymore).
Well, this weekend I've had enough, I've told him it's over and I'm devastated he chose drink over our relationship. I feel totally used and hurt. Have I done the right thing? I've been so utterly miserable for ages but feel even worse now I've finished things. Any advice?
