Dear Wendy: "My Baby Daddy Is An Alcoholic. Should I MOA?"

Dear Wendy Logo

My boyfriend (he would be a fiancé, but I turned him down) and I have been in a relationship for 2 1/2 years, and we have a 16-month-old daughter together. We've had problems in our relationship from almost the beginning. Every time I try to move on, he always coaxes me into staying (saying "we're a family," he loves me, "we'll work on our relationship," etc.). Most of our issues stem from his drinking. He's English, and so he's always spent loads of time in the pub, however, he's being irresponsible, and only recently have I figured out he's a functioning alcoholic. He says he'll come home sober, but he keeps choosing not to (he can't say no to another pint). Recently our arguments have started getting worse, and it's getting physical. He refuses to go to couple's counseling, and I've never been more alone in my life than I am in this relationship with him! I think on some level I do love him, but I feel that our daughter is more important. I don't want her to grow up thinking that our nuclear family unit is normal. Should I MOA or try and stick it out, and focus just on my daughter and myself (only including him when he's not drinking)? — Girlfriend of a Drunk
