Just wondering after years of dealing with the addiction and then recovery, at what point do people just decide to either continue or cut their losses when it comes to the addict?.
Not sure if I am making any sense but as an example, say you have been by the addicts side through addiction and as he recovers but 2-3 years into recovery he/she is still saying or doing things that are hurtful to you, you try to practice your self-care, etc but...do you continue trying to work on this marriage or do you just cut your losses?. Let me add that I know God's will and plan is always restoration but at what point is it just enough and actually detrimental to all involved?

Hi Lonely1,
I think it would be very difficult for anyone who does not know you and your situation well to be able to give wise counsel to this question. You are right about God's plan, and physical safety is always paramount. I can't begin to suggest, though, where the line between the hurts that happen even in reasonably healthy relationships and emotional abuse that needs intervention is.
I trust that you are communicating any hurtful behavior to your H. Does he listen and consider what you say, or does he minimize your feelings? Is he making the exact same mistakes over and over, or having difficulty applying healthy principles to a multitude of situations? I think some people are just really clueless about the effects of what comes out of their mouths.
