[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502976, member: 12886"] I have a high school friend who is a principal of a school right now...he has been in recovery from alcoholism for six months and is dealing with his wife having an affair (she is bipolar). He is so lonely and I know he misses his wife. He said too that his sponsor says no life changes for a year. (I have NO interest in him..that is not my point here) but he is really planning to stick with that. He would still even like his marriage to work. He has thought of leaving his long time job but again, is following the no changes rules. When he explained why they say that it makes sense. I would be worried too for my recovering child to be with someone so fresh into it. I dated a guy (actually became engaged to him) who was not a year into recovery and I knew nothing about it so thought he was just done (I was only young 20s)... he got suddenly demanding and mean and I kicked his butt out but of course now it makes total sense. I can only imagine if I had been an addict too. I can see that it could be wonderful to be with someone who is in recovery too so you have someone who understands hard days and what you are going through. I would be more concerned with the newness of it all. I hope she just has a nice friendship with him and continues to focus on herself... at least maybe he will distract her from peter. [/QUOTE]
