Is this a normal way to cope?
Relationship Stress / by neatTangerine2247

...See more Is it weird that I always keep a desktop page to have facetime screenshots with my boyfriend open and that I watch our facetime screen recordings all the time? I get relationship anxiety often and it's been challenging since I had to move away and we're on a long distance relationship now. I know he tries his best to show up for me but he's been going through a lot personally and mentally so he needs a lot of time for himself and barely has much time left to comfort me. I'm not sure if recording/screenshotting our (occasional) facetime calls and looking at them constantly is a normal/healthy way to cope or if I'm just losing my mind a little. Any opinions or inputs are appreciated! 🤍
How do I encourage my partner not to drink during our holiday together?

...See more I need advice on how to suggest/remind my partner not to drink. My partner is a recovering addict. He's dealing with a lot mentally thats pushing him to cope with substances. I'd say he's high functioning because he can go to work regularly and isn't always on them everyday, but once he takes one drink or does one line there's no way to tell what he'll do or when he'll stop. Next week we're going on a holiday together and he wants to go to a beach club to celebrate his birthday. There's usually a minimum spend for places like that and an easy way to cover the minimum spend is to buy alcohol. I've told him I won't be drinking and we can just get lots of food throughout the day, but he's given no indication he won't be drinking. I just want to remind him to try not to drink that day if he can afford to but don't know how to do it in a delicate and encouraging way. He's told me before that his end goal is to be sober and I know he's taken many steps and put a lot of effort in his recovery. I don't want this to be a setback to his recovery but I don't want to offend him by bringing it up either. Any suggestions on what to say?
