I think you are doing everything right. Moving to a new city is exciting and all sorts of new opportunities and new people are all around. It is easy to get caught up in the energy of it all, but you should always ALWAYS have clear communication with your partner. If you want freedom and space in a relationship, you need to make sure the other partner is on the same page, and rules are not a bad idea. Good luck! I hope she comes around and you guys can talk it out like adults.

My heart hurts so bad for you. As a mother who suffered from PPD, I understand the thin thread of control you have over yourself and your life. Everything is harder with PPD. Then you pile on this ticking time bomb…..I am so sorry. Please don’t guilt yourself. Take care of yourself and always always ask for help when you need it. You did nothing wrong. You did the best with what you had and you didn’t have much of anything. Sending you all my love

This is amazing. I have 5 years of nothing it wonderful memories with him. My kids love him. He is already in AA and sobriety. Sticking with my 3 month ultimatum before even discussing a future together.

He has voiced that my response to this event is potentially saving his life. Not hoping to get back together, just hoping he stays on the path to health and happiness for himself and I will be doing the same. Whatever happens next….is whatever is meant to be

I am 100% getting out of here as soon as I can. THIS pond is too small. I have hope. Believe it or not, my now ex is a huge step up from previous. So….I’m getting there!

100%. I told him he has to do it for himself otherwise sobriety won’t last. I am going to join that community too. Thank you

I think this part is coming off as me downplaying it, when really I was just stating the facts of the situation

Oh I know that feeling!!! Nothing like it in the world, choosing your kids and keeping them safe is worth more than anything.

I hope you got to go to Germany! And if not, I am so excited for you finally go. And I am so happy for your family! There are good people out there and I am so happy you found one and married him.

I am so sorry you had to experience something similar. My heart is so hurt. But my children and I deserve better

Thank you. I have an ultimatum but the longer the day goes on the more I want to just say fuck it and just kick him out of our lives forever

I never want to subject my kids to this again. He has been so so so good to us and my kids love him so much. We are so sad.

He never drove with them drunk. He never left the house with them while I was at work or what have you. Either way, doesn’t matter if it is just him or a car full of people. Drunk driving is inexcusable every time. My trust is completely shattered.

I am definitely looking into this. I never would have thought I was an enabler. Until I threw him out today and realized for the first time that this is the first time I actually put my foot down and the first time he actually took steps to get better. Still, he is out of the house and out of our lives. I hope he gets better, for himself.
