Need Advice

My fiance is a heroin addict for over 10 years. He is only 32 years old and was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and I'm really worried. I only have seen him under influence twice. Once in January and the second time yesterday. He says that he didn't use heroin yesterday that he went to the doctor and recieved an Intron A injection because of his inflammed liver and it was the side effects of the injection that caused him to have heroin use like symptons. I don't know what to believe, I really don't want to leave him but I can't deal with this anymore. I have a son, a great job, and college to worry about. I guess I'm venting but I would like to hear other people's perspectives, especially those who are or who have been in my situation.

The first thing that you should do is seek some sort of treatment. There are options out there but only a doctor can make the right recommendation.

He is still young; may have a chance to a drug free life, or he may not. I have seen people giving up drugs after more then 20 years of use. you could check with his doctor. Keep an eye on him. It’s really up to you. if you think you should stay with him, stay. If you think you should begin a new…. Sorry I don’t have THE answer to your question. Whatever you decide; only can wish you best of luck. Tagagt

You are not in an easy position, but if you really care for him and are just not caught up with the moment and the groove, then you really need o get him help and stick by him through it all (obviously there are limits).

Leave him

Marriage is serious and if he is not being honest with you here then he won't be honest with you in other areas.
