We fight about it all the time, then when I tell him he isn't even trying to get clean and I am his reply is "I don't want to talk about it, I don't need this negativity." I tell him I don't think he really wants to and he refuses to discuss it. The prognosis for the relationship is not looking good, I can't continue to live like this for me and my family. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any family. All I can do is work on me, I can't change him. I wish I could, but I can't.
No, sadly you can't help someone who won't help themselves. All you can really do is save yourself. It sounds as though the relationship may be taking a backseat to his addiction.
Thanks for this!
