Today, I realized that although I'm dating the most loveable, caring and genuine man, the fact that he's a crack addict means I'll never be his drug of choice when he needs a hit. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me love is like a drug. I started tearing up because this is the most romantic he has been in a while. He then went on to break up with me, telling me that my "prescription is up". FML
Today, I discovered that all the times my boyfriend says he's in the bathroom with horrible diarrhea, he's actually sitting there smoking crack and talking to other women. I've dedicated everything in my life to him. I feel so brokenhearted and defeated. FML
Today, I found out that the dude I love has been taking the money I used to support him and buying heroin with it. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me, with complete confidence, that he's selected "drug dealer" as his career of choice. FML
Today, I found out that the reason why the guy I took home from the bar seemed to understand everything about me instantly was because he was my ex's secret drug dealer. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years who I helped through drug rehab and find employment in my office left me for someone else. His explanation was that now that his "head is not clouded with chemicals" and he "makes decent money", he wants to settle down with someone worthy of him. FML
Today, I realized I willingly support my boyfriend's alcoholism, because the only time he says "I love you" is when he's blind drunk. FML
Today, after dating for almost a year, I decided to introduce my parents to the man I was sure I'd fallen in love with. When dad saw him, his and my boyfriend's face completely dropped. I asked them what was wrong because I could feel the discomfort. Turns out, I'm dating my dad's drug dealer. FML
Today, I came to the unhappy realization that I’m living such a cliche. I’m completely in love with a totally unavailable man. He’s funny, smart, and drop dead gorgeous. There’s no way I could ever tell him how I truly feel. He’s gay and I’m a woman. We’ll never be more than friends. FML
Today, I realized my best friend has it bad for me. This man has treated me better than the guys I’ve dated. He goes above and beyond for me, and makes me feel safe, valued, and respected. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a guy, except he’s butt-ugly as fuck. I feel so bad that I can’t return his feelings. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Surely the fact he takes crack is concern enough?

OP, shouldn't you be more worried that he's a crack addict?

Ever seen Requiem for a Dream? If not, go watch it, that movie will set your priorities straight when it comes to drugs ;P

It sounds like the FML was from a bag of weed

Ever lived in a city where the mayor does crack? That is clearly a man in a position of power who doesn't have his priorities straight.

OP can love him without endorsing his habit.

I would be just be a tiny bit concerned... But in all seriousness, run away while you still can OP. The fact that he's an addict can screw up your life in the long term.

#40, We don't really have much of a background story here. Maybe he didn't always do drugs? Maybe something horrible happened or he just met the wrong pack? Suggesting to run away and not put up a fight to win back the person OP loves most is silly. OP should only split the moment when negativity, caused by her BF and his addiction, starts to penetrate and affect her daily life. I used to date a guy who, after he came back from military service, started doing drugs. I tried everything, I fought hard, and eventually I left him after he had assured me that he would kill me, bathe in my blood, and then kill himself so we could be "together forever". Creeped the hell out of me. Leaving him was the right choice. Not even sure if he's still alive... I hope he's better now. Good luck, OP. Be strong.

64, you pretty much just went against yourself with that. your point says stay with him for the wild ride until shit gets too far gone. Why wait until that point? Thats stupid

#65, Because there have been a million of success stories. Obviously her BF isn't violent yet. If we all started giving up on somebody who's going through a rough time, what would mankind become then? I'm not suggesting she should stay with him and do nothing, but rather help him. If it doesn't work, she can still leave him. Trust me, there are always signs. Don't forget, even though he's an addict, she described him as if he was a gem. Like I say, no background story. We can't really judge here. Neither me nor you. No suggestion at this point is valid or invalid.

I personally don't see how the drugs won't affect her life. It might not be right away but it definitely will! The fact that he is spending so much money on them, probably going into debt for them or choosing to spend money on the drugs over food or rent money, he may want her money for them as well or if they have a joined income/bills than that's an issue. Then there's the emotional toll it will take. People are different when they are on drugs, he may be completely zoned out and spending a lot of his down time like that instead of spending it with her, or the drugs could make him anxious, depressed, violent etc, again all influencing her. And then there's the lies and stories that addicts tend to tell when they are on drugs, it's hard to trust them and expect any honesty. Personally, I would not even consider being with him unless he is trying to get off them and is going to go on some sort of rehab program. It's one thing to be with someone and support them as they try and get off those horrible drugs, it's another thing entirely to be with someone that takes them and has no plans to ever give them up. He will build up a tolerance and will want more which will only cost more money, make side effects greater and the risk of overdose that much higher. Don't stay with him Op unless he is trying to get clean.

Do not stay with him, unless he is actively trying to get better. Unfortunately, no one can force an addict to quit. He'll have to do it when he's ready, whenever he hits his personal rock bottom. It may be jail, a mental institute, the morgue OR it could be when he loses you and other people he cares about. I went through almost the exact situation with my ex husband. I stuck it out for a year after he started using. Worst year of my life and walking away was the best thing I've ever done. He was the most caring, amazing man I had ever known. He was a wonderful father and an even better husband, but cocaine killed the man I married. Even if he gets clean, he'll never be the man I used to know. Get out, OP!

#66 Only problem with that is she can't help him if he doesn't help himself. She can try until she's blue in the face but unless he WANTS to change, it's not going to do any good.

LOL, you've got your priorities in check. Not.

This cracks me up.

Sounds that you care enough, try getting him some help then.

I'd make a wise crack here but I don't think it's appropriate.

Your first mistake is dating a crack addict.
newzealand 28
Wouldn't "the most lovable, caring and genuine man" atleast try and beat his addiction?
cjwayy 22
Everyone has their vice. But smoking crack is kind of a bad one lol
pandalover69 26
eh, it's very addictive and he might not realize it's a problem yet.
igive 29
The fact that you tried it would be a problem. Drugs are bad, mkay.

I've never met a loveable drug addict. Sadly the addiction usually takes away those pieces of a person.
Brandi_Faith 34
^so true unfortunately

Your lack of concern for his crack addiction worries me...
Soundslikeothers 15
You have it all wrong you don't date crack addicts you date guys like Chris Brown and Ray Rice you will definitely be their drug of choice when they need a hit

#10's got the right idea.

Why does CB always get chastised for what happened years ago! He was young and stupid, so was Rhianna. There are many celebs who have put their hands on women and go on like nothing happened and people forget. But people can't let go of CB's. Charlie Sheen & Christian Bale both put their paws on woman, Bale beat his sister.... But hey it's funnier if we just stick with Chris. #boybye
