Back in January my partner was caught in a local pub doing coke. He had a past addiction to which me and his family thought he had recovered from. I made it very clear to him that I will support him to get support and help but I will not support if he caries on. He went to the doctor was referred to a support group to which he went to twice due to all the meetings were during the day Monday-Friday an hour bus journey away and he couldn't afford to take the whole day off work for it. Anyway he was doing really well, cut out drinking as that's what always lead him to doing drugs and he was clean of drugs. His best friend then lost his job and turned to dealing drugs to earn money, all of a sudden my partner was "going fishing" with him allot and turns out they were doing drugs! I have a baby on the way and when we found out he promised he would never go back yet we are at square one again. He's not been out for 2 weeks as he wants to stay clean and not do drugs. He doesnt see the problem with beeing friends with a drug dealer. I have tried making it so clear that I do not want my baby to have anything to do with a drug dealer but my partner does not see the problem and says that he won't be on drugs around the baby. I don't trust this friend and he's a bad influence in my eyes and does not help my partner in trying to stay clean. We are finding out the gender this week and my plan is to deliver cupcakes to family and friends with pink or blue icing to reveal the gender. He has kicked off as I said that his best friend (the drug dealer) will not be receiving a cake as I do not want him to be involved with the baby at all. He now dosent want to do a gender reveal as hes saying it's unfair that his best friend won't get one. I already feel ripped from all the excitement and happy times during pregnancy being in lockdown and wanted to make it a happy exciting time.

While he is hanging around with people like that then he is always going to be tempted.

Personally I would now be asking him to move out and focus on getting himself sorted so you can focus on you and the baby.
