Question Opinions: Drug Testing Significant Other/Spouse?

My ABF and I discussed whether or not our relationship could tolerate his being drug tested in order to remain in my house with me and my children. We decided it would be too stressful to try to make him accountable to me in that manner. I believe he thought that because he was actively using and I think I was afraid that if I could confirm his drug use, I would need to ask him to leave.

So in our case no drug testing, but sometimes I wonder if it would have helped us.

After giving birth to two children I had a weight problem. I attended Weight Watchers and I know (for me) it was the weighing in front of someone and being accountable that made me successful. I don't mean to minimize addiction, but I wonder if drug testing your partner or having someone else do it, would be helpful or harmful?

Of course .... respecting everyone's opinion and recognizing that everyone and their relationships are truly individual ..... do you have any thoughts or opinions about this?
