I have a boyfriend that I really do love. He is 38, and I’m 23, but I’m scared he might not live long. He is proposing marriage to me, which I’ve told him to give me time to think about. The thing is, he drinks too much; he is damn addicted to alcohol. He can’t go a day without taking it, which is a very big red flag to me. I’m a very principled person. When we newly started, he hid it from me. Until we became really close, that was when I discovered it. Recently, I noticed that he uses the toilet frequently.
He can go to the toilet more than five times in a day. I’m scared he is already sick on the inside because of the excessive alcohol intake. I’ve told him to go check himself up, but he keeps doing malaria and typhoid tests or keeps saying he is having a running stomach. He doesn’t take care of himself at all, and marrying him is not something I want to risk even though I love him. He is 15 years older than me. He has a child, though. He is well-to-do, has houses, cars, and even a hotel. But nah, I won’t risk my future for someone who is not willing to help himself. I love him, but I want the father of my kids to be a responsible father and stay alive for us. I’ve begged him several times to stop drinking, and we have had big issues because of it. Even his friends are nothing to write home about, so I can’t talk to them to caution him. Even if I don’t end up with him, I really want to help him, but he is not even ready to help himself.
And if you think I’m still with him because of his money, that is not true because sometimes I’m even the one giving him money to get things for his buildings. I’m well-to-do myself; I work with a very big firm as an HR/Secretary. I have my own car and I’m well-to-do myself. I really do love that guy, but he is just a moth£rf#cker who doesn’t want to last long. I really wish he could quit that alcohol so he doesn’t die young.
