We have been together for 3 years and both in our 30s. Since he was a teenager, he took drugs, ecstasy, ketamine, coke...anything. He became a crack addict. I left him 6 months ago because he was using and treating me terribly, I hardly even saw him.
Then whilst I was away it got so bad that he had to move in with his mother as he didnt pay his rent.
His mother took out a mortgage on a house for him to pay off, as he was now apparently clean and had set up his own business. Anyway, because I thought he got clean I got back in touch after no contact for months.
And now we have met up twice and had some nice times, he seemed good.
Then last weekend it was his birthday. He half heartedly invited me to his family meal but on the day I heard nothing. I was so upset.
And then I looked on his facebook and realised on that night he met friends in my area (we dont live in the same town), without seeing me, and smoking hundreds of pounds worth of crack between them.
He was on his way to work in London a week later, and popped in my house for 10 minutes to give me 5 citalopram tablets as he was worried about me! He said hes doing so well with his business and hes too busy to see me much at the moment. And his business is going to be on TV.
Then he left for London and I gleaned from facebook that he was hours late for his job, the lady hes working for was very cross. And other people worrying about him.
Anyway, I lost my job Saturday and was very upset. I got drunk and texted him that I know he smoked crack on his birthday and hed rather see anyone but me. He said well its nothing to do with me and its over.
Yesterday I rang him and he just kept saying he loved me but i need to sort my head out, hes done nothing wrong and hes entitled to a blow out.
I just feel so bad and unloved. Ive hardly heard from him and hes been in London nearly a week. And him making out hes such a success now, whilst im the one with the issues.
Is it me in the wrong somehow? Can he get better from a drug addiction without professional help? Does he just not love me or is it the drugs?
My head feels so messed up.

Will he realise whats has lost once he sobers up, because right now hes being so hurtful, speaking to women, putting up old handsome healthy photos from 2 years ago online, i dont even know who he is anymore. I feel so used and hurt. Thank you for listening

The simple answer here is no. There is no happy ending here for you with this man, don’t let him ruin your life anymore than he has, remind yourself how pathetic he is, get your degree and forge a wonderful life for yourself, because there is no wonderful life waiting for you with this man, just sadness and torture. Block, delete, ignore, move on.

Thank you for the reply and advice. You're right! I honestly cant believe i fell for his lies. Hes already set me so far behind this year with my course, i wont let him make me fall at the last hurdle. I just hope if he has a sober couple of days he doesnt contact me. Thank you kindly

You're grasping onto straws, desperate for his crumbs and it's no way to live. Also, are you sure his so called business is even legal. The company he keeps is so dodgy. I wouldn't be surprised that if you had kids with him you'd be one here again in the next few years saying you had found out he'd slept with a prostitute that his friends had fired. Please don't bring a family into that.

@GreenVibes it might be better if you started your own thread, as this is an old one. You’d get more advice I think.
