I recently broke up with my boyfriend of a year after finding out he was stealing from me and my family. I found out from his family that the reason why is he has been doing drugs for three years and has done rehab before.
I was not going to talk to him anymore, or have anything to do with him. Easier said then done right?
Well he ended up texting me and I called him. This has been going on for a couple of days, (we broke up a week and half ago). Well we had a long talk last night and he says he is going to rehab again, and he is going for himself this time. He is going to go for the full time instead of just a week, and do the whole thing. He also was very honest with me and told me everything about his drug problems. He asked me if I would be his friend during this time of his life to help him get through this, of course we both have hopes of working through this and being together again.
I'm really torn about this, because I want to believe that he is going to get better, and I do want to be there for him because I love him and care for him. But at the same time I don't want to get myself into a sticky situation and get hurt again if he starts using again. It is going to be hard for me to transition from girlfriend to "friend". If you have any suggestions please let me know!!!
