They 'occasionally' do cocaine?

Another thing that bothers me is that he told me his 14 year old son has been having sex since he was 12 and he lets him smoke cannabis Shock I have a 14 year old girl and I would be horrified at the notion of her taking any drug. I know you can't stop teenagers having sex if they are determined but 12???

No fucking way.

I mean...unless you want to be talked at every time you go out and have to deal with them wandering around a party asking if everyone thinks it’s would be “totally hilarious” to phone Steve and get some coke. Then crouching in the floor ramming it up their nose followed by rubbing it on their gums.

Plus the money, the illegal aspect, the health and death risk and not to mention the ethics.

My best friend is going out with a coke head and everyone thinks he is a gobshite.

Straighttalkersneeded · 07/10/2018 08:24

Oh dear God. You posted here about coke use when he told you he supplies drugs to his son! Of course you shouldn't date him.

didyouseetheflaresinthesky · 07/10/2018 08:26

Nope. It's rule number 3 for improving my mental health, no junkies.

bakingdemon · 07/10/2018 08:31

@Meganc559 you need to do some reading. Start with this: www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jul/31/middle-class-cocaine-users-are-hypocrites-says-met-chief-cressida-dick

Cocaine users are complicit in murder, child slavery, smuggling and environmental destruction - and more. Never mind dating someone who uses it, I couldn't be friends with anyone who used it.

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 07/10/2018 08:41

I also think someone telling a person on a second date that they are an “occasional” class A drugs user, is potentially an abusive fuck.
If you don’t immediately block and delete him, he will take it as read that you’re easy to walk all over because you have zero standards or self worth. It’s a pretty savvy way of him saving time whilst looking for someone to treat like shit.

SummerStrong · 07/10/2018 08:44

No, run for the hills.

mouthkisses · 07/10/2018 08:45

I would have found it a turn off at 18, 25 and 36. No. What a twat.

Another thing that bothers me is that he told me his 14 year old son has been having sex since he was 12 and he lets him smoke cannabis

That's 'another thing' alright. Is there anything else?

finn1020 · 07/10/2018 08:50

Noooooooooo

dogandrunning · 07/10/2018 08:55

So drug user and dealer to his own child ! Not to mention the fact that he is supportive of a 12 year old having sex..! Please tell me you're not going to continue dating this piece of scum?!!

Block. Delete. Move on.
Get well rid and never think of him again.
If you had sex with him get yourself tested.

Electrascoffee · 07/10/2018 09:18

No I'm not seeing him again! I'm horrified about his poor son - I'm sure SS wouldn't look favourably on his parenting to say the least. And yet he tried so hard to come across as the lovely family oriented dad with warm fuzzy pictures of him and his kids.

No thank you

AsleepAllDay · 07/10/2018 09:20

I'm not anti drugs but coke in particular is a drug that really changes people. I don't like it and can't be bothered dealing with someone and their come downs, they chat shit, it's expensive and just sucks the fun out of life when you're not the one high as a kite and feeling awesome

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 07/10/2018 09:21

Look at Witney Houston - deceased proof that you can spend $20M on cocaine...

Changedname3456 · 07/10/2018 11:58

No. There are nearly 7 billion people on this planet. ”Pick one that doesn't take recreational drugs.”

Umm... being pedantic here, sorry, but that would mean a non-drinking, non-smoking partner too.

Although I would also not want to be with someone who dabbled in cocaine / weed / ketamine / heroin / uppers / whatever either.

Mrsharrison · 07/10/2018 12:22

I don't have a problem with occasional coke use.
But i would steer away from a "cool dad" who encourages his son to smoke weed. What a wanker.

MinorRSole · 07/10/2018 12:37

No I wouldn't date someone who takes drugs, it's incompatible with my lifestyle and family and I'm perfectly happy to be labelled judgemental if that makes people with lower standards feel better.

PillowOfSociety · 07/10/2018 13:13

Quite a drip feed about his son. That tells me way more about him as a person than what could (in isolation, but the drip feed reveals that drugs are central to his way of life) be an occasional social use of coke. Surprised the drip feed wasn’t your headline ask.

Actually, were you asking WWYD for advice, or just a hypothetical chat?

Electrascoffee · 07/10/2018 13:28

It wasn't a drip feed, it came out in a text after I started this thread.

OP posts:
Electrascoffee · 07/10/2018 13:29

I've blocked him

OP posts:
ForalltheSaints · 07/10/2018 15:00

I think OP you have done the right thing. Good job you found out sooner than later.

PillowOfSociety · 07/10/2018 15:04

Oh, sorry for accusing you of drip feeding!
Blocking him was the right thing to do. Onwards and upwards!

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 07/10/2018 16:03

I know people who take recreational drugs very occasionally. It's not very important to them. If the subject came up during a second date I'd assume they had a drug problem. It's not something you'd bring up until it became relevant.
