Default The Birds and The Bees

So My girlfriend has a drinking problem she gets drunk often and I always need to cleanup and watch out after her when she does. It drives me nuts. Of course since I do really feel that I love her I kind of just dealt with it for the past year. I've asked her if she can stop many many times but it doesnt seem like it is working. Now I am in a hospital where she lays with a broken nose rib and cheek bone from drinking and driving. I hope this will teach her a lesson. There were flowers sent to our door from an anonymous person so I went down to the flower shop to find out who sent it and it was her ex boyfriend. The funny thing is that the only way he couldve known she was in the hospital is if she called him when they brought her in the ER. She says I was the first she called but I dont believe her. I guess she might rely more and think more of her ex in times of distress. What do you guys think? I dont wanna be the somewhere in between for her. I understand that she has dated her ex for a while, but its been a year and a half already i would think its about time to move on

While it may seem cruel or selfish to leave her in this time of need... Not only did she risk other peoples lives from driving drunk (selfish), but she's also shown that she doesn't care how her actions affect you.

As far as the ex-bf aspect, could he have heard from a mutual friend or family member?

I think marrying her will calm her down and make her mindful of her commitments to being a good wife to you, a great mother to your children, and force her to forget the ex. I'm sure you have the all the qualities to man up and put your foot down. Best of luck.

You have been with her for a year, and she broke up with the ex a year and a half ago.

There isn't enough space in there to negate her emotions for him so take that is it comes.

As far as your relationship goes, now would be a good time to start distancing yourself from her. It is going to hurt but you have to move on with your life, it is clear she is a wreck.
