writes:I have been with my boyfriend for about nine months now. He was so respectful and patient on waiting to have sex till I felt we loved each other which was over four months, and he never flirts or is innapropriate with any other girls. He is basically the best boyfriend besides a huge flaw I have now noticed. He has an addicition problem with pain pills and alcohol and I never noticed how serious it was until time passed in our relationship. He tryes to keep it under control however sometimes I will catch him falling into bad habits and he will try to hide that he has started drinking, smoking pot or taking pills from me. He tells me this is one thing he just can't help but struggle with, that he loves me and doesn't do it to hurt me but that every now and then he gives into and might go in a bad streak but then eventually gets out of it. What do I do? Do I leave my almost perfect boyfriend due to one big flaw or do I stay. I know he loves me but he just cannot get past this its starts back up almost every other month now

I have come from that abusive lifestyle myself and I have seen incredible violence. You just need to keep encouraging him and telling him you'll be there to help him through it. Or alternatively start drinking yourself.
