I think for starters you should end things with the guy you've been seeing...
I am...would just like to keep him as a friend as he's a good support to me. But with the way he feels it's not fair.
It sounds like you're like me and attracted to the unstable mysterious dangerous kinda guy. It also sounds like you should work on distancing yourself from these kinds of people.
I just love men, and actually love all different kinds of men. I like both masculine and feminine men for different reasons. Like my ex, who I was crazy about for 3 years was a very macho, wild, party-guy type, who'd drink and occasionally do coke on weekends. But never went too far or missed a day of work or exercise and was always in control. So he was very strong and diciplined and a completely different type. I saw him more as a strong man I could rely on and a father figure.
While this one, bless his soul, is weak and delicate and can't handle his life. And very sick both physiclly and mentally. But we all know what Heroin addiction does to people and he might have been something completely different if not involved in drugs, like many others.
I do like the wild, exciting, unconventional guys though. Never boring with them. But there's also a real sympathy and understanding between us, we're on the same wavelength and find it very easy to communicate and have many of the same feelings and ideals. And that is not so easy to find.
I've got absolutely nothing against drug users and I think they can be perfectly good partners but a few things bother me in your description of him:
- he told you to take more klonopin. This is not what someone who cares about you would say. He's a drug dealer and it very much sounds like the whole thing about giving you the impression that he's into you is to get you to buy more from him.
No, no, you've got that wrong. He knew I was going home and wasn't going to buy any more from him, he'd already sold me a big glass. What it was that I was a bit of a nervous reck as I'd been awake on the bus all night, then waiting since 7 in the morning, and I'd just taken a few so he saw I had nerves and was only trying to help me. He was very compassionate in his attitude as he reached out to hold my hand, and that really made and impression on me, to be met with that kind of kindness from a complete stranger, and especially in that scene.
- he's not just a drug user, he's a drug addict. I think I recall reading from an old thread of yours (sorry if I'm wrong, might be mixing you up with someone) that you've had your own experiences with addiction, and you would therefore know what this does to a person and how badly suited for a relationship it makes them.
- not only is he a drug user, he's a drug dealer. I just have a problem with that. Imo it does show a lack of morality. He's consciously living off feeding the ruin of certain people's lives. I have no respect for drug dealers whatsoever and really don't think they can be trusted...refer back to what I said about the klonopins.
True, all true. But that is life. It's not perfect and you make your choices. The drug scene is what it is. If you choose to get involved in it and become involved with people in it (which can be just as irresistable as any other person) you'll just have to put up with the realities of it, or make a choice if you find it worth it or not.
Anyway, there you go. I get that you're the kind of person that gets attached easily - once again, so am I and I feel like we've got a number of things in common in terms of who the people we are attracted to are and how this attraction occurs. But you should really, really work on reserving those feelings for people you know better. This man could be anyone and there are already warning signals. Please don't get involved with him, so many less risky people out there that I'm sure you could get along with just as well.
Well, see, I guess. My feeling ae quite fluid that way. And like I said he still loves his past fiance. Though I suppose if they've ended it for good and we stay in touch there might be a chnce as he's very needy for someone to cling to right now. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be happy without love in his life
