Could My Boyfriend’s Cocaine Abuse Be the Cause of Our Breakup?
Question by 38andStupid: Could my boyfriend’s cocaine abuse be the cause of our breakup?
I just moved to Texas to be with my boyfriend – a musician. We dated for 9 months but since we were long distance we started working towards living in the same city together. I started going to Houston from Nashville to look for a job and everything seemed great unitl…he started to change.
We are both in our 30s (I’m 38 and he’s 36) and he travels a lot on the road with a famous singer. Usually when I would come to visit things would be wonderful but the last time I visited we had our first major argument and he broke up with me. The argument was because I told him that I wanted nothing to do with a drug-using, swinger couple whom he tends to stay out with all night. I told him to keep hanging out with them but I’d prefer not to. Well, he brought them around anyway and a public fight ensued and so he broke up with me and called me crazy, irrational, etc. In the meantime, I’d been seeing the signs – everyday pot and hash smoking and he admitted to having cocaine in a nasal spray bottle.
Anyway, dumb me moved in with him anyway – last week – July 1st. On Monday he told me that I have 5 days (this Saturday) to move out. He has now become quite open with his cocaine use but says that the drugs have nothing to do with our relationship problems. He says that I am a nag and controlling and judgmental ( I apparently think that I am better than his drug using, hard-partying friends) and that I yell at him. I do yell but it’s because he asks me for money, uses my car and won’t put gas in it, made me move all my things by myself and didn’t even help me unpack the car. The bottom line is that I yell because I want him to be mature. He says that he needs a woman who is more laid back.
I have been in the city for a week and now I have until Saturday to get my things and move back home – with no job and no place to live. Could I have driven him that crazy in a week or could it be the drugs?
