But we've spoken a bit, and it's just difficult being in this situation for the first time differentiating between truth and fiction. After knowing him to be an honest and straightforward person for so long, it's hard coming to terms with the fact that now every promise is broken and every story is a lie.
It's like buying a used car, it looks all shiny and clean, runs great and gets good gas mileage. Then about 6 months in a tire falls off, then the transmission starts to give you problems then it's the brakes............you begin to realize that the salesman sold you a bill of no goods!! Active addicts are very much the same, they are real good at selling themselves in the beginning but they just can't maintain that level for long. I'm betting the house that he was active in his addiction when he first met you and was able to control it until he was no longer able to do that.

It's good you are keeping him away from your home but it would be emotionally healthier for YOU to just block him from contacting you at all.
