I'm new on the site. I have been involved with someone for the past 2 years. When we met I was not aware he had a drinking problem. He managed to keep it from me for sometime (call me naive

No one can make that choice for you. I will tell you that I live with an alcoholic. There was a moment many years ago that I realized that he had a drinking problem but I stayed. If I had the chance to go back and change it, I would have left. Life is too short, and now I feel like 13 years later I am still dealing with the same issues. Good luck and warm hugs!

No one can make that choice for you. If your are unhappy and stressed then you need to figure out how much more you can take.Evaluate the relationship (the positives & negatives.)
I once had a realationship with an alcoholic who couldn't admit he was one .I stuck around for awhile but once I walked away & got over the break up I realized that i was unhappy in the relationship. I realize now that the realationship stressed me out & that the relationship was toxic.Once I left the relationship & got over the break up I was able to finally breath.
