You are a good and loyal Person who deserves so much more

I guess it’s a very complicated and long story of how I got here. I know that he’s manipulating and using me, bc that’s what addicts do. But I know he also loves me, it just so happens that he depends on me.

The easy answer is, I don’t leave because I really am in love with him.

I am not a user, I am pregnant. I give drugs a pass bc I know it’s something that I can work on and support him through. Until one day he can be completely clean. But if he’s cheating, the that’s a different story. Thennid have to leave the relationship. But since there is a correlation between using cocaine and behaviors of infidelity, I can work through that with him too. That’s why I am here asking people wether cocaine really is the culprit. Or how much is it contributing to the behavior?

If the answer is, it doesn’t make you solicit sex from random strangers then .. …..that’s when I can move on.

I’m so sorry for what you are going through. I know what’s the right thing to do. I know what is practical. But being an adult doesn’t mean I learned to make better decisions. I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeves. I love him, and I feel like if there’s a sliver of hope, I want to give it a chance. But I really don’t know how many times my heart can be broken.

Solonely, sending you support, you are not alone girl.

It’s so so hard, and I can only imagine that your hormones are sooo all over the place too, which makes everything feel worse. It must be exhausting for you, I can only empathise with you. Sending care xxx

I’m not going to tell you to leave him, I can’t even do that from my partner, so I won’t preach it to you. But I do know that the addict is an addict through lifestyle choice. If he’s an addict, it’s because he wants to be. Perhaps being a parent will be enough motivation for him to make a lifestyle change, or will could make things worse. It’s impossible to know for sure.

Whatever happens I just encourage you to make sure you take care of yourself, physically and mentally. If you need some support in weighing everything up, here as a sound board. Hugs xxx
