Thanks for being so kind and welcoming. I've told him a couple things that will help me trust him is showing me his bank account or unlocking his phone he guards with his life or taking the bathroom door off...hehe last one kind of extreme bit im at my end. He won't do any of them says I'm crazy. I told him to come up with a couple ideas of his own but he doesn't have any. He says he will come home more then disappears still for a day and a half. The worst part is now that the jig is up and I know the secret I can see where I'm being manipulated and things like that and its a very uncomfortable feeling. I read somewhere else that people who have to live in an environment like this where there are no rules an boundaries and its all like hush hush end up with the lowest mental health. It's tough to because honestly my personality type is not to be so complacent and like walked on I'm more of an im out I don't need this type of person but somewhere maybe dealing with this I've found myself somehow being the opposite type of person even tho that's not my true self. I know he will do what he wants to do and all in his own time. Its seems like he's not even listening when i talk anymore and I don't really blame him..I'm sick of hearing myself try to talk to him about it at this point. I've heard it's not good to so either be over bearing. I'm trying to control him and his situation and its no Bueno.
When you love someone, at least when I do, you want to give them everything you can, even when it hurts you.
I wouldn't have thought I would tolerate the abuse I received from one of my ex's, but I did, cause I loved him.
Leaving is hard, even when you know you should.
Speaking again though from the addict side. If he's not ready to stop yet, he's not ready to stop yet. You can do things that might help him reach the point where he's finally ready, but they won't be easy for either of you. Sadly at this point leaving may be the best thing you can do. Or at least the least worst thing.
In the end it might not help, he may never be ready to stop his drug. But at the end of the day, if he wants to keep using, he will find a way.
You can't trust a heroin addict. When I was deep into it, I became an unbelievably good liar and manipulator.
He will manipulate you, in whatever way he thinks he has to to keep his drug.
He may be hurting too, it may be hurting him far more than he let's on how much he knows he's hurting you.
I hated what I did to hurt my loved ones in my addiction. But until I'd gotten to the point where I was ready to stop heroin and at least try life on methadone instead, I just kept doing it. No matter how much it hurt, I'd do whatever I had to to get my drug. I did things I'd once never thought myself capable of.
And it was all the more devastating and horrible by the fact that when I'm not in active heroin addiction, I'm generally a very honest person. But when I was in it, Id tell any lie, do pretty much any thing to keep using. Even if it hurt so much to see how I was hurting others. Even if I wanted so badly to let them help me. I just couldn't.
Eventually I ended up homeless, begging every day for money on the street with my equally addicted addict boyfriend. It was only when things had gotten so bad that I was prostituting myself only for my partner to still fuck shit up from his benzo use that he wouldn't acknowledge, that I finally reached the point that I'd had enough.
Not enough of heroin, I'm still a heroin addict, I still love it. It's only a desire never to end up that low that keeps me at all stable on a methadone program. And even in that I've had relapses.
Different people will tolerate different amounts of suffering for their drug, and some will go to different lengths. But you should assume that he's capable of just about anything.
Don't let him tell you you're crazy, you've seen what you've seen. Don't let him manipulate you. And for both of your sakes don't let him make a victim out of you.
In many ways I wish my loved ones had just entirely cut me off from the start. No more listening to my lies, no more giving me even an an inch to deceive them. No more trusting a single word I said or giving me a single dollar more.
Things would have deteriorated faster, but I think I probably would have wound up at the same place, just sooner, and with less guilt to live with about what I put them through and did to them.
Your boyfriend may be different, he may not be exactly like me. And I can't promise you anything about what will happen if you take one decision over another. All I can tell you is what it was like for me going through this as the one with the severe heroin habit.
