Perfect I would say if it wasn't for the addiction.
Hi.
Most people say that about the person that they love. But nobody is perfect and addiction is not a minor problem. It's not easily overcome. It destroys families and lives. It kills people. Many people never recover and those who do have to work really hard at recovery in order to stay clean forever.
I think the best thing you can do when your boyfriend is away is learn all you can about addiction. Learn about codependency and enabling. Take a good look at yourself and decide what you will and will not accept in a relationship. Maybe look into alanon meetings and consider working a program of recovery so you can be prepared for life with an addict, should you decide that's what you want. At least you'll be able to make an informed decision that way, and you won't be going into things blind to the truth of the situation.
The stickies on this website are a great place to start educating yourself.
