Without going into things too much my Husband used to be a weed smoker, we agreed over a year ago he should stop, I was very upset as I was very against it.

I found out last week he had been using again for 8 months.

When I found out I was devastated, it was a total breech of trust, he was buying with money we simply did not have, he was lying to me and worst of all he was smoking whilst on VERY high doses of depression medication

Anyway, before I found out he had a night at his mates, he was supposed to be spending the evening with me but 'dumped' me in favour of a night at his mates.

He said he would be home at 11pm, at 11.30 I rang and he said he wasn't coming home

I waited

he came in at 1.30am.

Last week, it all clicked, all the times he betrayed me he was smoking,

he was smoking that night.

He has just said he wants to go to his friends tonight.

How can I trust himt hat he wont smoke??

He promised me last time and treated me likea mug for 8 months!!

When I found out our marriage was close to break down, i even made him leave for 2 nights.

At the time he was all 'oh its just you and me, no more nights out, no more smoking'

But now less than 5 days later hes already wanting to go out and im worried!

How can i trust him,

but how can I keep him here if he doesnt want to stay in with me?

I feel like shit

this cloud is hanging over us and I don't know how to lift it

you may just need to accpet it and hope that in time he does stop, but meanwhile accept it so he stops hiding it from you and you can both work on the trust issues.

OverMyDeadBody · 28/06/2008 21:08

what are you fed up with?

The secrecy and lying?

OverMyDeadBody · 28/06/2008 21:09

I've been where you are, and suffered through it all, so if you just want to vent on here and get it all out feel free to do so. I won't judge but can offer my experiece too.

Thankyou for your offer, but Im just exhausted and need to go to bed now

I really appreciate it.

Just re read your OP.

Would you have a problem with him wanting to go out with his mates if he wasn't smoking weed?

OverMyDeadBody · 28/06/2008 21:13

ok, I'm here anytime though, just write on this thread and I'll respond.

I bet your DH is nothing like the dopehead wanker waste of space I had the misfortune of wasting four years of my life with!

Could you take more control of the money, OP? For example, if you have a joint account, let him give up access to it and you just give him pocket money? If he really wants to give it up, this could help. I believe this is what the partners of alcoholics do.
