Told my girlfriend I needed space for the night.

My girlfriend has a severe drinking problem. After day drinking, she went hiking alone, met a man, and got his number, which made me furious and I told her I needed space.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to effectively address her alcoholism and the disrespect I feel from her actions."
If I could tell you one thing
"Do not ignore serious red flags like a partner's uncontrolled drinking and questionable behavior with strangers."
