My mind is spinning right now... I'm borrowing my husband's phone, and I see a message from one of his co-workers telling him he would bring him some more meth...
I looked through the conversation and he has apparently been doing it all week.... It explains his irrational behavior... I honestly had a hunch.. but I just really wanted to believe he wouldn't do that behind my back.... It really hurts...
He's sleeping it off now... But it's taking everything in me not to just explode right now...

I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

And it's certainly understandable that you are holding in much frustration.

It's understandable you'd feel this way. Do you think it's worth discussing this with him?

Does he have it in his possession now? At the house? Do you have kids? Please take it seriously. Hang in there
Thanks for this!

Wow, what a scary situation. Like divine said please take this seriously. Try to make sure there no meth in the house especially if you have children or pets.

We have a daughter.. but I'm pretty sure it's not in the house... At least I would hope not... I don't know how to even bring it up... he's pissed at me right now because we got into a fight yesterday over something else.... I don't know what to do...I'd leave for a little, but he won't give me the car keys... so I'm just trying to clean up some and stay away from him...

I am very sorry. How are you doing now?
Why is he not giving you the car keys?
If i were you, I would not say anything and watch for a while. And when he acts irrational again, you can bring it up. Although, I would be hesitant to do so without the presence of a third party.
Does he have parents or siblings close by? Can you ask for their help first?

He won’t “give” you the car keys? It’s your car to! He’s pissed of at YOU? there may be some serious underlying issues that may need looking at. Do you have anyone that you can call for help? You are basically being held prisoner. I hope you take some steps to protect yourself and your daughter.

I would ask him directly .. and then find a addiction facility.. If he is unwilling to seek help you need to make decisions to ensure you and your daughter are safe.. Im assuming hes got a dealer and that can be scary what if he comes to your home???

Please protect yourself and your daughter.

How old is your daughter?

Has the mistreatment risen to the level of abuse? (It sounds as though it has or is teetering on the edge.)

Do you have a domestic abuse hotline in your city which you could call for help if it does?

I just got home in the last three minutes from a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. I'm celebrating 26 years clean and sober next week. I mention that because I might know a bit more than the average person about such things and I'd like you to take what I am about to say seriously.

Leave. You want to help your daughter? Leave. You want to help yourself? Leave. You want to help him? Leave. Because if he is an addict (and I've never met a social meth user), it's going to get worse, never better - and he's not going to get help until he has to start paying consequences that he can't bring himself to pay. Losing you and his daughter might be the very thing right now. A year from now, that might not be enough. Wait too long, give his addiction time to grow, and the things you swore he'd never do will come to pass.

Wow. This is very troubling. I have no advice. Maybe to separate? I don't know enough obviously. I hope you are okay.

If your husband is doing illegal drugs, you might be in a whole bunch of trouble if keeps it at home. Personally I’d be out of this marriage like yesterday. Meth? So what your plan?

Hey, I'm sorry I haven't replied.. I still haven't brought it up... I'm too scared too.. I checked his phone again and haven't seen any messages for it.. he's been still wierd though.. I don't know if it's because of all the **** going on or if it's that he's still using..

I'm trying really hard to stay compassionate towards him.. he found out one of his friends committed suicide a month ago and now his grandfather is dying and he is being weird about that... We have been having issues with both of our families and he has been so depressed.. I'm trying to be supportive but he keeps just blind siding me with his random anger bursts...

He hasn't gotten phisical or anything.. but like today he was still depressed but I was texting him while we were at work and he was being nice to me. But when I pick him up, he doesn't say one word to me... We get home and he still won't talk and when I ask him to he just says "nothing" and "it's not like it matters".. I don't know what I did wrong... But I can't stand this...
