Would you forgive a partner for doing cocaine as a one off?

[MysteryManchild]

Have a one year old dd at home, he’s very recklass with drinking and had a tendency to start fights/go wild and gamble money while drunk, never this though.

Really don’t want to drip feed so honestly he hasn’t always been the nicest to me and I suspect a bit of an alcohol problem but he drinks so rarely that I’ve let it slid.

Ex partner was an alcohol and coke addict which may be clouding my judgement but I want to pack his bags..

Well done OP, good luck. I left a relationship a lot like yours years ago, luckily for me before I had children. Life improved immeasurably. It will for you too. X

Good luck Op

Good! I was coming on to tell you to find your spine but thankfully you've found it. Would you want your DD to be with someone like him in later life? Hopefully the answer is no so don't forget that if you ever start wobbling.

Please please leave him. This willl never ever get any better. I have been through the exact situation and it never gets better despite the promises and lies they tell

I'd be more concerned about the frequent gambling, drinking and fighting. You and your child really deserve much better

Going in for an appointment tomorrow so fingers crossed. He put a substantial amount (for me anyway) into my account, probably thinking it would bring me back or something. Not enough for rent or a deposit but enough that I don’t have to worry about how I’m going to eat/travel etc for at least 6 weeks so that’s a massive relief! Feel good today, feeling very free.

Glad to hear you are feeling strong OP

Well done op, onward and up. There will be bumps in the road but you will be better in the long run
