it's a vicious cycle, isn't it? They want us to be a certain way "or they can't respect us", so we become less than ourselves and nobody can respect us for that...
My SO wants me to just be okay with the fact he uses cocaine, even though his own brother died of a brain anuerism and was also a long-term coke user... I'm supposed to ignore genetics and addictive behavior, which involves deceitful behavior and lying.
When I stop "nagging" (his word if I even mention his use), I shut up- then he's mad at me because I'm "not acting like myself"...
There is no way to win when drugs are involved. There are three parties in my relationship. My, my SO, and my SO on cocaine. And that's one too many to tango...
