Ex partner has done cocaine socially since early 20s out with his mates and he loves a drink.
We suffered a loss 1 year into our relationship we are both mid 30s now. I then found out he had zero money after working full time and tracing the money he admitted Cocaine use in his car alone 3 times or more a week for 10 months. I was devastated. Due to the lies and the debt. He was in 3k which he borrowed to clear it.
Gave him a second chance swore wouldn't ever use again. Did a few CA Meetings but stopped.

Fast forward 2 years: this is where I need to know does this indicate use or close again:
1.A old friend who he used
To do coke with texts him out the blue saying 'if you need any more mate , let me no'
2.he's agitated regularly, sweats profusely even in the cold.

  1. I found texts to his work colleague saying he owes a local dealer £££ and he is skint Cz he owes money (when confronted says he was joking about it. It's just banter)
  2. Recently after Tryin to win me back, shows me his bank transactions showing £100 here and there to his work mate who also does Drugs weekly.
When confronted he said his colleague *has had issues with his bank account so he gets him to transfer money to him and his mate gives him The cash.*

Swore blind he is not using.

@RMNofTikTok as far as i know they never been arrested. Just an addict.. money laundering?

It's to protect bank records of future arrests.

Yes, money laundering. The act of taking money gained from proceeds of crime and cleaning aka laundering it.

Oh he's definitely taking it. I had an addiction myself several years ago. I assume he's moodier too? Sleeping a lot too?

He won't stop unless he decides he needs to. Nothing you can say is stronger than his addiction.

Sleeping a lot on cocaine? I've never seen that in my career!

Sleeping it off afterwards. It exhausts the bones of you afterwards.

It's a really horrible drug. If it wasn't so addictive, no one would want to feel like that.

Mine was also nicest guy ever, always had an excuse. We all suffer bereavement, we all experience stress. I gave too much benefit of the doubt for all these things before realising it all it is...excuses! Run, please!

I'm meeting him on Saturday & I'm going to end it once and for all as we have been both going back and fore since we broke up months ago.

This is not the life I want. And I've realised as
Much as we went
Through..losses etc I will never ever trust him again when it comes to drugs or him relapsing in the future. He has a child from
A previous relationship. I wanted to let her know but I'm sure she already knows . I will be deleting his number and blocking him also.

Thanks everyone for your advice.
