Relationships in Recovery
I feel like I need to ask my bf for some room during my recovery. We've been together 7 years and it's been rocky (because of my addiction) and he's broken up with me MANY times after a relapse, just to get back with me soon after.
But now, I feel like "nothing changes if nothing changes".
Even tho, he's never used with me (we drink rarely together, but never drugs), I feel like this relationship is stressful…maybe even a trigger. I don't know. I told him I needed space yesterday and this morning he sexted me. I'm kind of surprised. He's never chased me before after a relapse. Usually I'm the one begging him to stay. I ignored his text, and I'm not tempted, but what if he leaves forever? I just want some space. Should I ask him to wait or just make a break and work on me??? confused.
