"What do I do?" , "I can't remember", "I'm ashamed", "I don't want to talk about it (ever)" are all things my partner is saying to me tonight. It's not the first time either. This is common and getting old. He wants me not to talk about it as much and gets up set if I mention it.
What do I do? I can't recover for him, I can't do the work for him. So what do I do? I have done everything in my capacity to help him, give him more freedom, deal with my anxiety and pain by myself, and I am at a loss now.
He says he doesn't know what to do, what to talk about, how to talk about his addiction, etc. So anyone else out there have a partner who says or does things like this? Any addicts want to chime in how they did recovery? How they were able to talk about the addiction and the actions and consequences with their partner?
Thanks!
