Worried about my boyfriends drug use?

Question - (17 July 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 17 July 2011)
A female New Zealand age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I recently discovered that my boyfriend has been experimenting with drugs a bit, and is interested in trying more.

We had a conversation about it, which I initiated, and he seemed very uncomfortable telling me about it. He could sense I disliked the idea, and asked me if how I saw him had changed after he told me. I was very careful in my response, saying I was neutral on the subject as long as he was safe.

My boyfriend is always searching for a mental high, new stimulation in terms of ideas/theories/visuals, in a way that is difficult to explain, but also very apparent.

So the fact that he is very interested in drugs does not actually surprise me. The drugs would intensify his natural tendencies/imagination. I can see how that would be very appealing to him. I can also see how he might easily slip into taking it too far.

I am now very worried about him and dont know what to do. His parents don't pay much attention, and his siblings are bad influences. Any advice aunts?

It's interesting to note that while he is fine with doing drugs himself, he mentioned that the idea of me doing them really disturbed him. I would like to have told him I felt the same way about him doing them, but was worried if I said this, he would tell me even less about that area since he was already guarded.

A female reader, VSAddict United States +, writes (17 July 2011):

VSAddict agony auntAre you willing to be with someone who knowingly commits a crime everyday just for a few minutes of being mentally high? If you really love him, then I think you should tell him everything about what you're feeling. You deserve to be happy and you don't deserve to see him destroy himself without him knowing that you don't like it. So talk to him. If he gets defensive or says he's going to do it anyways, then decide whether you love him enough to be with someone who does something you're strongly against. Hope I helped.
