Hi Sk21 I am taken back 10-15 years when I read your story and hear that your partner is behaving in the way he is. I am someone who has been the person who is leaving his partner at home and not coming home after work because I’m out spending all my wages and more on an addiction. Back then it was powder cocaine and alcohol and I hate to say this but I think you have to concentrate on you and your future. I know that it’s easy for me to say that when I’m not emotionally involved in a situation but I used to lie and manipulate my way back into my partners good books saying anything that would help but the reality was she was an inconvenience to my using. Then I lost her because she’d had enough of it all and although it didn’t stop me using at the time it did ensure that her life wasn’t going to be wasted watching me destroy myself. I obviously don’t know the extent of your partner’s using but please don’t suffer and torture yourself. I really do wish you all the very best
