My partner has been in rehab for 2 weeks now for drug and alcohol addiction. I didn't think there would be any contact for the first couple of weeks which I felt like I needed. I was worn out and needed a break. That did not happen, he would call numerous times a day until I had to tell him to stop calling for a while as all we were doing was arguing and I felt so resentful that he was in the 5 star hotel like place, with everything he could ever need on tap and I was left to seriously struggle financially and emotionally (which isn't his fault) but I was taking it out on him. I was being so nasty to him then crying the rest of the night because of it. He says that he has really changed and knows he wont relapse but it's easy for him to say that while in there, he's living in a bubble, it'll be a totally different story when he's out and has temptation all around. I'm so scared of it all happening again, being let down, hurt, going back to the sneaking about and lying, feeling like its all in my head and him making me feel like I'm going off my head. I'm just not sure if I can do it all again. I feel so bad for even thinking that. I just don't know what to do as when I have broached the subject with him, he says he can't deal with that at the moment, he can't comment, can't talk about it.
