Break up or keep trying?

[Jemima1985]

Hi ladies... First time posting! After lying in bed upset and stressed all day I'm hoping there is someone to talk to and give me advice.

Been with my bf for nearly 5 years... I'm 30 and he's 25. He has been struggling with depression for a year which has been difficult to cope with. I have supported him through this. He has been on an alcohol ban.

This weekend he has gone off the rails, drunk, taken drugs and lied to me about it. I am so hurt and worried for his health. I have given him chance after chance and don't know how much more I can take!

Do I leave... or keep trying

2 important things to know-
1- staying in a bad relationship because of the time you have already invested is throwing good money after bad. Google the sink costs fallacy.
2- just because he's ill, doesn't mean you have to accept poor treatment and behaviour. Just because you love him, doesn't mean you should put up with it.

Hi Jemima1985,
From my opinion, you should hire a professional couple therapist, who can understand your problems and helps you to improve your relationship.
Thanks!!
