Am I overreacting?
guys,
I am new here, like I've been reading other people posts, and got some really good advice from it, so i decided to post also, so i can get this aout of my head.
My boyfriend has been a crack addict for the past two years, in February 2009 he decided to go to rehab, and so he did. According to his counselor he's doing fine. Last week i went there, because now he's allowed to receive visits, and we were talking about his progress, what he's planning to do (i think he will leave rehab in a month or so), and all of that. Well he looked at em and said he's feeling guilty for all the things he did to me (stole money, dissapered for hours, wouldn't pick up the phone) and he thinks i deserve better, and i don't deserve him, you know all that bla bla bla.
I know that all that is true but my doubt is do you think he wants to dump me but does not know how to? or is that normal addict behavior?
Thank you in advance for your input.

Sounds like normal addict behavior. And I noticed there was little attempt at amends, no apology, or no offer to repay you, unless you left that part out.
Sounds like he's hoping you won't dump him, imo.

My emotions were all over the place the first year I was clean/sober. Half the time I didn't know what I was feeling.
You trying to figure out what is going on in his head will drive you crazy.
What have you been doing for your own recovery from the effects of his addiction while he's been in treatment?

Sounds like everything is still all about him, ajane.
A relationship is about MUTUAL concern. MUTUAL support. MUTUAL sacrifice.
He's all wrapped up in him. And a good candidate for relapse as a result.
