Hi all. Sorry I’ve not been on for awhile, I was on “ignorance is bliss” mode. It sounds like one way or another we are all in the same position with our other halves and it’s probably the same for them. Can I ask how do you talk to your partners about the problems that their habit is causing? I can’t talk to mine at all about it, he goes on the defensive, lies and denies. I keep everything bottled up, I know he knows how unhappy I am but he won’t say anything because he hates talking about problems. I’m now in touch with counselling for myself as i know my mental health is starting to suffer, which again he hasn’t spoke to me about even though he knows I’ve referred myself. I need to tell him how I’m feeling and what his addiction is doing to us but going by past experiences he would rather leave the relationship than talk. Xx
