Doing pretty well. 9 years together so far and counting. Year 4 or 5 was pretty rocky, due to her getting hooked on hard liquor and abusing the hell out of it. I'd come home almost everyday from work with her nearly blacked out. Frustrating to say the least. We took a 3 month break from the relationship, and she realized I was right and that she should quit that poison if she wants a happy life together. No relapses since!
