Question by sweety: Do you think my ex will stop doing drugs?
I was in a ten year relationship I used to do drugs but I have quit now for almost three years. I left my ex bc it eventually made me sick watching him still do it and be gona all the time doing it bc I no longer allowed it in the house. We have kids and have been seperated for about two years. I’m pretty happy an feel really great since changing my life around:) he still wants to be with me but he keeps lying about still doing drugs. He says he quit now for real and wants to be with us but I’m still really not trusting hom bc he has lied to my face about it so much over the years. I also feel really resentful toward him since he hasn’t really raised the kids with me he just has basically play dates and sleepovers at his parents now every other weekend. Is it worth it for me to not move on ? Do people like him never really quit? Am I wasting my time hoping he will change? Te kids want us together and that’s what is bothering me but I will never if he is still doing drugs bc he is not a nice person as soon as he runs out even if it’s only weed.
