Partners Addiction
Kind of a long post but I’m completely out of my element.
I don’t know if this is the best place to bring this up but I need to vent about it to someone who would maybe understand this a little better. My partner has always struggled with addiction in the past, I know when I had initially met him a few years back he was actually using but it was obviously not something I was fully aware of at the time as he was only separated from his wife at that point so I very rarely saw him and thought his behavior was normal and we had been at the bars if we saw each other. Fast forward to now after a year if him trying to working things out with her and then her leaving him for another man and us ending up in an actual relationship lights are begging to shine on certain subjects. We had a conversation last night that I feel wrong being upset about. I’m glad he opens up and expresses some of his feelings to me but there was a comment that was made that definitely has me concerned. It was just the “if I’m in the moment and want to do it, I’m going to do it.” Everything bad that could happen has been happening one thing after another. And I know he’s shutting down but I’m just trying to be there for him and supportive, I know his demons are heavy on him and that he could break and I’m just nervous for what that could entail. When we started dating that was the number one thing was no drugs or I’m out. But I don’t want to keep a man from his kids. We are expecting twins in September. I guess my biggest question is how do I help him with out being to overbearing and pushing him deeper in to a hole. He hasn’t caved yet but I’m seeing that the thought is there. As far as I’ve know besides weed he has not touched any thing worse than that. Weed was only off limits due to having to Drug test randomly for work but he lost that job and I think that’s where some of the temptations for other drugs has come in to play.
