Hey.

Sorry about the situation

Unfortunately it reads as if your partner is cross addicted – using the things you described to self medicate somehow.

Perhaps seeing what he saw sent him that way, who knows. Unfortunately what I do know having been in his shoes is that unless he wants to stop all this himself and get help, there is nothing you can really do other than look after yourself. Feeling sorry for him isn’t going to help him long term either.

Would he consider seeing someone to get some outside help ?

Thank you for replying from what I’ve learnt over time it seems he has always been this way.

He needs to seek help for this as it is destroying us and also me everytime he does it, it causes huge issues for us the problem is he doesn’t seem to see he has this dangerous addictive personality.

I’m always on edge.

I come across this site while looking for help and was good to read I’m not alone.
