Should I leave or stay?

I AM IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH A MAN I LOVE. WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. WE HAVE BEEN LIVING TOGETHER FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE 2 KIDS. HE HAS BEEN BATTLING A DRUG PROBLEM PRETTY MUCH EVER SINCE WE GOT TOGETHER. HE’S DOING BETTER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE BUT I FIND MYSELF THINKING ABOUT BEING WITH SOMEONE ELSE. SOMEONE MORE STABLE. I USED TO KNOW 100% THAT HE WAS THE MAN FOR ME. NOW I HAVE DOUBTS. IS THIS NORMAL? SHOULD I TRY TO STICK IT OUT WITH HIM. I LOVE HIM BUT HE HAS PUT ME AND MY KIDS THROUGH SO MUCH. I DON’T WANT TO BE HURT ANYMORE. IS IT TIME TO MOVE ON? OR DOES EVERY COUPLE EXPERIENCE A TIME LIKE THIS ?

Answer #1

Test the waters- ask him for a break- give yourself some time to see or at least be able to think about how different things would be. It easier to make a decision without having the person who influences the majority of your thoughts around.

Answer #2

women can put up with a lot of crap, thats a fact! it happens that when a person (man) has stoped doing the crap he did b4 then you still find that he has wounded you for life with the things he did in the past and it takes time for that wound to hell, i would advice you to go for counceling, try it out and c if it will work for you. GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer #3

first things first. your children’s safety. maybe you should give him an ultimaidem. the the “compliment sandwhich” techinique. a compliment followed by what is wrong follwed up with a compliment so he doesnt feel like hes being attacked. let him know how proud of him you are for making progress but you have to move on with your life he cant cant be a good influence for your children but you love him and want to stay. take the kids and go to your mom or dads and make sure he knows your serious. when you leave he’ll get his act together, and if he doesnt than make the clean break. hope this helps.

Answer #4

well maybe you should just talk to him or maybe you should stay with him for another year or so but kinda give him clues. by clues I mean kinda let him know that you thinking about leaving but dont go out and tell him ya know what I mean? if he doesn’t do ANYTHING about it even though he knows whats going through your mind then you should leave. but if he comes back… then tell him how you feel and why you left and then see if YOU want to be with him.

but what do I know. im just and 11 year old kid
