A listener shares the story of a relationship defined by two painful realities: alcohol abuse and infidelity.

For years, his partner's drinking led to chaos, broken trust, and repeated cheating. Friends and family told him to leave. He didn't. Time after time, he chose to stay, hoping things would change.

Eventually, they did.

Today, she is sober, their relationship is healthier, and life is far more stable than it once was. But while the drinking may be in the past, the memories aren't. The cheating, the lies, and the years of uncertainty still linger beneath the surface.

In this episode, Mel and Suzie discuss the complicated intersection of addiction and accountability. Does alcohol explain bad behaviour? How many chances should someone get? And when a partner finally changes, can the damage from the past ever truly be left behind?

It's an honest conversation about love, loyalty, forgiveness, and one question many people struggle to answer:

When is enough enough?
