Hello Dr. I visited your site and found it good, so I would like to share my problem with you. Sir I have a affair with a guy who is 3 yrs younger to me, he cares for me a lot, he knows what I need and when I need, he always stands by my side no matter how crucial the situation can be. But there is one problem he is alcoholic and when he starts drinking or keeps on enjoying with his friends he totally ignores me and sometimes scolds me too if I interfere. He is little irresponsible towards his duties and inclined more towards his own comforts. I still want to marry him because it is the only shortcoming in him. I spoke to my parents about him, they bluntly refused on the other hand his parents accept me. He belongs to a very well off family and I am very much in love with him, I know he also loves me truly. I don’t want to leave him but my mother says that I will regret later on if I get married to him as because of the age differences and his bad habits, I am really confused, is opting him a right decision? I never ever think of living my life without him.

Alcohol dependence is a serious problem, and more so if it starts at young age. From whatever little information you have given I understand that he values alcohol more than you (when he starts drinking or keeps on enjoying with his friends he totally ignores me and sometimes scolds me too if I interfere.) In such circumstances usually people regret about their choice, this may hold true for you also.
