  • I don't see what difference it makes whether they're married or not. It is not the type of relationship that matters, but the quality.
  • Don't understand why marriage is excluded. I would say if the relationship formed before the addiction it's possible it could survive since it survived the addiction. If it was formed during the addiction, highly unlikely.
  • ...No. Usually the dumbass takes a good look at themselves and finally realize what they are putting their s/o through and it gives them alittle help stopping. NOW...If they are in a relationship where the person is also a contributor to the addiction it will never work. Becuase as long as they are togather there will always be a repetitive cycle... They will get better but then that person will not know how to stay in the relationship becuase they are no longer the ENABLER....WHICH is used to the rutine of cleaning up after, picking up after...taking care of...and the regular rutine. So....it depends on the relationship you are in. If the partner is with you 100% to quit, you will be fine...and the bond will only become stronger. But AN ENABLER?...IT will NEVER work. Expecially if they try to sober up. The whole bases of the relationship...will just be no more.
  • it depends on if the other person was a drinker. if they are both sober i feel that it can work!
  • I don't think it's necessarily true. It's just too simplistic. I think what it's pointing to is that recovery from an addiction is extremely difficult and can put a huge strain on your relationships, and also that relationships you were in while using could have been supporting or relying on your addiction in some way and so without the addiction there just might not be any relationship there to speak of. Also it speaks to the presumption that marriages are stronger, more committed relationships than non-marriages. But none of these things are rules.
