The long haul, what an understatement that is when speaking of addiction.
While H is a special beast, meth isn’t any cake walk.

Can you do this???

What are you doing? And is what you are doing helping or hurting you and her?

Distance there will never be enough in the same room or out of it. Distractions they don’t tend to help or work either.
But there is one thing you can do, work on you, get healthy in your own right. Don’t take her using personal, don’t support her habit, don’t make excuses for her, don’t make any for yourself either, oh and no pity parties allowed … accept that she is an addict, accept that you can’t fix nor help her. Understand that you will be part of the problem or solution … enabling keeps you part of the problem helps keep you both sick. Seeking out help for yourself and educating yourself, well that put you on the solution side. Don’t buy the ********, don’t hide the truth. Love her as she is, and in it all you are going to have to ask yourself is this what you want from life…can you find peace and happiness living with someone in active addiction … living with someone in recovery . Oh and should there be a distinction?
