Take Love Slow and Healing Relationships Can Take a Lot Longer Than Falling in Love

You can't make big commitments like this until you see the outcome what you want to see, which is him in complete control of his drinking and not hurting you any more. He hasn't shown you what the outcome is for his own healing yet. So love is something that grows pretty fast. Sometimes we just have to reel it in and make it a little slower so that we don't get stuck in a situation where we're now in love and the other person turns out to be a jerk or abusive. That's why taking love slow is much better.
