Need some advice about my boyfriends behaviour?

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years. We are both in our thirties. At first, I thought he loved me and we got along really well. Then I discovered he has a problem with cocaine. He has been getting really paranoid and keeps accusing me of cheating. Its not in my nature to do that at all. I have never given him any reason to think such a thing. Yet when we fall out, he messages other women to "piss me off".
He hasnt made any real efforts to stop the drugs. Hes attended a few NA meetings but I think he needs more than that. He has recently been saying some really bad things...like the last few times we have had sex, he has said i feel "stretched" and "loose" down there, and he says its because I have had sex with someone else. This is not the case obviously. Its making me feel like i dont feel comfortable to have sex anymore. We fell out about it a few days ago, and hes started texting saying how he loves me. I havent answered his calls. I dont know what to do. I cant keep trying to prove that I havent done something. I do love him...but I dont know how to move forward with him. Im quite low on self esteem and confidence anyway and finding it hard to be strong. Do you think its the drugs affecting his mind or does he really think i am unfaithful? Just feel beside myself with it all. Thanks for any advice.

I'm sure I've read about men's penises shrinking due to heavy drinking and drug use.

Did you notice his penis looking more shrivelled up and was he having issues with his erections?

If he really did notice a difference when having sex with you I think this is much more likely.

Congrats on leaving him. You are strong. You will be ok without him. Move on with your life. And keep him blocked. He will never change. I know someone who has been in the dock twice for dealing. Is TERRIFIED of being jailed, yet I saw him palming a small white Jiffy bag while talking to a friend. Yup, some things never change.
You will be fine Smile

Stretched and loose AKA ''don't you dare mention my flacid coke cock'?

Hmm I didn't really notice anything different about his willy..he seemed to take longer than usual to finish I guess.
I was just trying to enjoy things until he said that. Was weird as he'd just made me breakfast in bed after..then I started mentioning that girl he messaged and i guess he didn't like it.
I've been reading a book on codependency. :( it really does sound like me. It's not a good way to be is it. My own behaviour is very deeply ingrained. But I'll keep trying.

Codependency can be brought under control. You can do it. A better life beckons.

One of the big things about getting over it is to understand who you are as a person in your own right. To really know who you are and what type of person you wish to be, which is fully independent of the people around you.

Now you are learning what it wrong. When you start on how to fix it I highly recommend a book called The Reality Slap.

Is this the future you really want? He’s not going to change.
