I couldn't agree more. I feel so ashamed and embaressed now to think of how much of my life I let slip by that year I was with him. He never forced me or told me to stop doing or seeing anyone but I had such a strong pull to him. I didnt know he was an addict until the end of our relationship but I really felt like he needed me so much that I just poured myself into him.
Now I'm getting back in touch with the people and things I enjoyed before and I feel bad that I let him take me away from being me. It's not his fault those, previos posts have helped me to realize this was my choice and I did it to myself. Thank you for the clarification!
