Your thread title indicates that you are thinking about moving on. When to move on is a difficult decision to make. In addition to the lessons on this forum, the Undecided forum has some good lessons too. The lessons there are aimed at helping one to decide when to move on. Are there still good things about your relationship? A lot of times substance abuse issues exacerbate emotional instability. What does her emotional instability look like? For some people, it is extreme rage and dangerous behaviors. Has your partner exhibited any dangerous behavior? Or, is it the more mild kind where it is moody, passive aggressive, and unpredictable but not necessarily dangerous? I ask because the first thing to look at in these kinds of relationships is whether or not you are physically safe. Keep posting and people will try to help you navigate things. It isn't easy. |
