The cheating is also a show stopper.

I would find a good partner that was clean and not a cheater.

This is easier said than done. But, the internet is a miracle.

Thanks.

I couldn't have said it better.

I would also suggest running and not looking back. He's shown he can't be trusted and that he cares more for his own pleasure than he does for you. I hope you can get away from him and find a good life for yourself.

I think you deserve someone better than someone who cheats abuses and steals from you, and makes your house a meeting place for who knows what kind of people.

I don't know if he'd be different without the blow and booze - I did some stuff I'm ashamed of now - but the bottom line is how long are you willing to stay around on the off chance he'll get sober and that things might be different then?

This may seem a bit backwards but the best thing you can do for both of you is leave the relationship. As long as you are still there enabling him it's one less reason for him to quit using and by staying you continue to suffer his abuse. It's a lose/lose situation for both of you.
