Methadone Has Been Part of Him for Too Long Am I Wrong to Walk Away?

Question by Pricilla: Methadone has been part of him for too long am I wrong to walk away?
My boyfriend has been an opiate user since he was 14 he’s now 28. I have been by his side for 7 years now. Four years ago he decided to go to the methadone clinic to recover he’s been going since and doing well. But methadone changed him he lays around all day sleeps the whole day ( when he’s not at work and he works full time) I used to just put it off as he’s tired from work for a long time but realized when he’s off for a few days he sleeps all day long. That’s all he wants to do! Also his personality is different it’s almost like he has no interests anymore other than sleep. We have sex very little like once a month. The other thing is if I want to talk to him about his situation He tells me it’s not my business that he’s the one dealing with it, but I need to know because with him on it I feel distant from him. I understand his struggles trust me I did my research what he doesn’t understand I’m struggling too!

If he says it’s not your business then, two things to consider:

1. If it’s not your problem about the methadone, and he acted the way he does without methadone in the picture, would you stay with him? I’m saying, if you don’t make allowances or judgments, but just totally ignore that he’s on methadone- is he the person you want to be with?

2. Do you want to be with a person who says his business is not your business?
