I don't really think the conversation is a direct result of him being drunk. You're just culturally and temperamentally incompatible. I certainly have plenty of experience with that. |

I think that you made a good decision.

Exactly...its impossible for alcoholics to be nurturers in a relationship. |

The American and German idea of alcoholism is most likely different, too. |

And nobody can also say for sure why his liver gave out. I'm pretty sure other livers do, too. Just like my Grandpa got some sort of lip cancer supposedly common among smokers. Only that he'd never had a smoke in his life. |
