In love with a drug addict

I've been in a relationship with a drug addict for 2 years it's been nothing but ups and downs more Downs than UPS I'm even though I know I need to end it it's going to be very difficult because of the good side of the man when it's good it's amazing and I'm coming to the point where finally after 2 years I really need to make a decision that I never could make before and I don't even know if I can now... seriously how does one get sucked into this kind of thing

He may be a decent guy underneath but until he reaches his rock bottom he wont quit. Which means you and others will be picking up the pieces. Unfortunately.

@Perry4444: he has told me has hit rock bottom in the past...so that didn't seem to change things ugh!!! Makes it seem there really is no hope...not saying there isn't just seems

@michgirl75: Well look dont take this funny but maybe his" real and ultimate" rock bottom will involve him losing everyone temporarily. I know it sounds harsh but i was a drug addict years ago for 11 years and fooled myself a 1000 times before reality hit home and i finally chucked that shit for good. I feel for him but i feel for u more because u have to carry his burden to. I hate the words "cruel to be kind" but i think as far as serious drug addiction goes, its sometimes the only choice u have.
