Lost and despite
Hi. I'm new.. here's my story. I ended up finding my high school crush. He was in recovery when we started dating and know very little about addiction. His drug of choice was heroin... He relapsed two days ago, but on vyvanne... I'm so lost and confused. He promised me the world and now I feel that everything was a lie. I'm tired and broken. He didn't lie to me. He actually came to me and admitted what he had done and seemed very remorseful, but I don't know what is real and what isn't at this point. We were planning a wedding and trying to start a family... I feel blindsided and utterly betrayed. I'm afraid I will never look at him the same again. Can he even love me? Is it possible? Is what he professes just an illusion? I'm so weak and despite right now. Please God, tell me what to do! Do I stay or do I go? Once the trust is gone, what's it all worth? I loved him so much and trusted him with all that I am.
Welcome!
I'd suggest going to the "Friends and Family" section where you should be able to find others in your shoes.
I've heard that heroin addiction is hard to overcome but I would suggest getting other input.
Good luck!

Trust your instincts. What you feel is a very bad relationship because of the drugs, is. When you feel that your life will not unfold with the "happy ever after" you had dreamed of, it will, as long as he is actively addicted to drugs.
Sadly, what an active addict says and what they do are often two different actions. Their intentions may be good, they may sound sincere, but in the end the drugs will win every time unless and until they find a better path and nothing you say or do will lead him there, only he can do that and it doesn't sound like he's ready. If our love could save an addict, not one of us would be here.
If you were my daughter I would suggest stepping back for a while and catching your breath and finding your balance. I wouldn't make wedding plans or any future plans until you see what his actions tell you...over a long period of time.
Stick around, read here for a while and let us know how this unfolds...we understand and we care.
