I'm nineteen and I have met the man I want to marry. I know it sounds kinda crazy but we just really click. The only problem is he is addicted to unprescribed pain killers. We've had times where he'd relapse and we'd break up for like 3 days and he was good again. But this time I feel completely shut down and like I can't deal with him ignoring me this time. I'm so sad because he's living with a bad kid currently cause he got kicked out of home but his parents want him home again. We had a really good date night saturday night but then I brought up the him not calling me and letting me know what's going on[I can't call him cause his phones gone] I told him I was serious about the calling because it made me anxious. I live 7 hours away and I want to talk to him even if currently we aren't technically dating. He said he really wants to date and that he loves me so much and wants to marry me one day. He also said he would call me the next day which was yesterday, I never got a phone call or anything and haven't talked to him since. I'm severely depressed and just want him to man up. I'm constantly worried he is just gonna leave me and ill never see him again. Although everytime he has broken up, he's come back within a week. I know he loves me but I know he's addicted and prob can't make me happy till he is happy but I need just any insight or advice. I really love him and I want it to work, but if he's just lying about his feelings then I want to move on with my life as difficult as it might be, it'll be easier than this. Please help me :(
but you can get him some help by a professional. the next time you 2 have plans, tell him you are going to take him somewhere and then take him to a counseling service. they can help.

You guys should go to therapy, together. It will help you and him both. [ xomegaroni's advice column | Ask xomegaroni A Question ]
