Help- my boyfriend has an addiction
| Fri, 02-06-2004 - 8:02pm |
Last night I came home and accidentally discovered an email from my boyfriend to a friend wanting to buy crack. (It really was an accident-- he leaves his email on my home laptop.) The email mentioned keeping it on the DL since I don't "approve."
When he came over last night, I confronted him about the email. He broke down crying and admitted that he has a slight problem. He uses on average once a month-- sometimes with friends at parties, but also by himself. He's been hiding it from me the entire time we've been dating-- 6 months.

I love him and don't want to break up with him, but I don't want to get hurt. He's willing to get help if it means saving our relationship.
What are your thoughts on the situation? Would you leave him? How do I learn to trust him again?
I'd appreciate any advice that anyone has. Thanks!!!

Break up with this guy - let him get help for his problem and then once he's been clean a while, tell him to get in touch. But really, you can't help this guy, he must help himself, crying and admitting he has a problem means nothing - doing something about it means everything. Watch the actions, not the mouth. Let that dictate what you do next.
