Obviously both would come as a shock, but weirdly, I'd feel way more comfortable handling the drug addiction because I could relate to it and empathize more. Meanwhile, I'd struggle to remain intimate with someone fumbling to explain how they thought hurting others was okay at any point in time.

    Yeah, as someone who's in recovery from booze and has dated a benzo&opioid addict, people here are absolutely talking out their ass.

    Also, fun story, having to call around to find a sober person because you're too drunk to drive to get your partner out of jail on their own DUI is not a great moment.

      Yeah, I take it we're in a community of empaths who emerged from the womb with complete enlightenment and have never diverged from the path.

      Or just a bunch of hypocrites.
