Hello, Seska! I've been married for 26 years, very happily, and that is so definitely true. I read voraciously, my husband doesn't, just as an example. But because we never attempted to "convert" each other to our own interests, we never made anything a "power struggle." In fact, we went out of our way to discover new things that neither one of us had tried before.
Fatal Attraction...I truly feel for you. It's so difficult to watch a friend in trouble and feel helpless. You've done the only real thing you can do, which is offer his partner help so that the business doesn't go under.
For assistance with addictions, you need the advice of professionals. All those wonderful, successful "interventions by friends" one hears about leave out the horrifying unsuccessful stories that resulted in permanently broken friendships and the addicted person in worse shape than he/she was in the first place.
