Awe but stealing can be normal circumstances for an active addict.
Do you really want to be with someone who would/could do that to you.

Often our hearts and our heads are not in sink. I think you know deep down that walking away is your best decision for sanity and self esteem, self empowerment and self health but it’s that tugging on your heart strings that makes it difficult. Many of us have been there, keep walking don’t look back and the farther away you get the closer your head and heart become and you will be content with your very smart decision.
