Suggest Treatment For Stress And Depression

My partner is 57, I am 65. We are to be married this year. Two years ago he started hanging out with a friend he works with who is an alcoholic. My partner didn't drink. Since then he has lost his licence for drunk driving and had another major ATV accident while drunk. Both times while with his friend. Then he started not coming home in the summer when he was working of the friend's house and would call and say he had too much to drink. We tried to work it out but last night it happed again. My partner is bi-polar and when he doesn't make it home then he doesn't comply with his medication He then spends days in a depression and then just does the same. I am not able to deal with all of this and am thinking of asking him to leave.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I think you took the right decision and this decision might provide a way out of the situation too. Some time you need to be much vocal and some times more decisive. When you take harsh steps, dependent people change according to you. You tell him you are leaving him. If he changes, fine. If not, consider, he don't deserve you. Be proud of yourself.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
