Hi, Shellart.
Welcome.
Glad you found us.
My opinion only: I think addicts like to keep relationships going, just in case they need something, money, a place to stay, emotional giveback.
If they can, they do just enough to keep the people who love them in their orbit.
As awful as your experience was, it was good that you caught him and his shenanigans.
Now you know, for sure, that this relationship is not good.
Good thoughts.
