I stayed in a relationship with a drug addict for over four years because I loved him and thought I could be the solution to his problem. My best friend once told me, “You’re going to get to the point where you hate him,” and I thought that was crazy...until I got there.

However, that’s when I’d finally had enough and was able to break up with him. You need to get to the point that you hate her for all the damage that she’s done, because you really should.

You can love a person without being in love with them, and you can even love a person while hating them. It’s alright to be angry and sad and upset; this is normal. You found out that she wasn’t the person you thought she was. Whether you consider her to be a full-blown drug addict or not, I can tell you one characteristic that she has in common with them: she’s incredibly selfish.

You deserve better.
