Love addict

I met a guy a month before lockdown and fell head over heels in love. We decided to get an Airbnb to isolate together, vs having to be apart. A few days into living together, I found out he was a heroin addict. I don’t know why I didn’t walk away at that point, but something kept me there. My life became chaos, and our relationship was a mess, but I honestly believed that the pain of sticking around and trying to help him would be less than the pain of going through heartbreak during the pandemic. It took him going to rehab, relapsing straight away on his release and him moving into a homeless shelter for me to finally realise how bad things were. And now I’m on the other side, I can’t believe what he put me through, what I put myself through. But, he’s gone now and I’m healing every day.
