I do not want to go to jail by hurting this guy to leave me wife alone what do i do?

A friend with a drinking problem is not someone you have to live with or deal with on a daily or hourly basis. WAY different scenario!!

 

and for the 4th time, if I had a SO, I would help them to the point they refuse help...what is so hard to understand about that?

Uh- stake him out and kick his ass. Take nothing, say nothing, leave nothing. But whip him to unconsciousness.

 

If your wife hassles you about him, threaten to divorce her. See who's side she's on.

So JB - are you of the mindset that this MAN is the only one responsible for the affair & HE should pay? HE should have his ass kicked? Gee, last time I checked it took 2 to Tango!! Guess the wife has NO responsibility in this. Hmmmmm...Very interesting.

So if someone drinks themselves into oblivian for let's say 5 years straight & then stops drinking.....With no help......they are NOT an alcoholic...

 

OR

 

Have they just made a choice to clean up their act?

 

I lived with someone that drank for YEARS & then stopped with no drama, no intervention, no help..... I SEE & have observed "Alcoholism" as a CHOICE!

 

 

As a recovering Alcoholic, it's obvious that your bitterness towards that person has affected your viewpoint. It's easy from the outside that it was so easy to stop, but then you really have no idea how it feels to struggle with it, do you? I'm guessing that this person finally got sick and tired, of feeling sick and tired....in short they hit their bottom. At that point, they decided they needed to make a change. It happens, not everyone needs an intervention.
