Boyfriend hiding taking coke

So my partner of 4 years recently started taking cocain in the bath room every time he gose through I can hear him. This only started 3 weeks ago after we had a break for 2 weeks. And now if I say that he's doing that he says I'm mental and that he isn't when I know fine well he is. Now I pretend he isn't doing it even when it's clear as day. He lives with me and we are together all the time. We don't work I am disabled due to an accident. What annoys me the most is he lies to my face an I just accept it. I don't talk to my family or friend about it as in the past I have an was made out to be mad again by him so I look like I'm crazy so I've stopped that. I don't know how he pays for this as I don't see any of his money. But again we live in my flat I pay all the bills and food shop every time. It confuses me that he can do this. It makes me mad that he dose that in the bathroom every 30 mins. What can I do. I know I should be done with him but I'm stuck

Hey.

My partner started doing this too. I had my suspicions and I found it in his wash bag. So I confronted him about it. Have you been able to find it or does he keep it on him ?
It’s not cool if he is doing it and then calling you mental, it’s really not cool. If he is and addict he though that’s the first thing they’ll do, deny ! Hope you sort it. Could you tell him you know you’re not mental and you know what he’s doing, and even say you’re there for him and aren’t going to judge - even though you’re raging !

He must be spending hundreds if not thousands if he's doing it that regularly. He's gonna be sniffing all the time, wired as fuck and not sleeping well, how can he expect to hide it?

He’s a coke addict. This will not end well and it will be significantly better in the long run if you leave him sooner rather than later.

Just playing devils advocate...how can you hear him taking it? What if he's just sniffing / blowing his nose whilst in the loo?

Having said that, if this it is the case and he has previous form, then you're much better off getting rid... someone gaslighting you is awful and not what you deserve xxxx

whyhavetheygotsomany · 31/05/2024 20:13

Well you're not stuck atall just kick him out ! Everything is yours his a freeloader

You know if someone's on coke, it's not just the sniffing, presumably op is aware of the signs

Well done on yourself for a start too for not getting dragged into that horrible hole !

This is still the same. If anything it's made him worse at hiding it. The things he says to me he's such a narcissistic boy. This relationship isn't a relationship anymore i am a keeper as in I keep doing everything for him. Im so sad about all this now to the point where am going to leave him and my home town behind. I have thought about this and there isn't any other way.

He can afford it because you pay all the bills and buy all the food.

Kick him out or move out yourself.

What do you expect will come of this except more lies and unhappiness?

a222 · 18/09/2024 20:14

coke genuinely makes you an awful person, i cannot imagine how he is treating you.

can you go through his phone? there will be texts to dealers.

does he work?? he cannot be functioning as a severe coke addict.

Beth216 · 18/09/2024 20:26

He's a lying, gas lighting, druggie. Just end it and do yourself a huge favour. There's nothing to be confused about, he's taking advantage of you paying for everything and destroying your self esteem so that you feel like you can't leave him. He's a nasty cock lodger, why on earth are you with him?

DeliciousApples · 18/09/2024 22:18

Dump and move on.

But be very careful. Once you cut off the things he likes and spoil his fun ie staying at yours for nowt, he will be angry.

Wolfiefan · 18/09/2024 22:22

Why do you have to leave the town? He is the only thing you need to leave

Gingerkittykat · 18/09/2024 22:24

Why do you need to leave your house if it is yours? Is he on the tenancy agreement?

How does he get money if he doesn't work?
