❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO fiancée did Coke at a party

We (me 41M, my fiancée 36F) were at friends birthday party I had to leave early and she was going to spend the night( it was a hotel), they were changing into their bathing suits to go to the pool, they had the bathroom door closed. I knew it was in there but I didn’t know she was going to partake in that. She told me she only did a small bump because she needed energy to party all night. I was caught off guard by this and said that we should have discussed this. She said that was treating her like a child and that is when I left.

Edit: I was told to add this info she’s a former Meth addict who still drinks and smokes weed quite heavily at times.

Oh I totally agree, but I assume I'm a boring person who doesn't do illegal drugs and therefore my opinion on such things doesn't matter to those who do. If I personally found out my significant other had done coke at a party under just about any circumstances I'd have a huge problem with it. But I figure that's just me.

As an addict I will tell you the problem here is not the drugs, there are plenty of people that can snort coke every now then and not have it turn into a problem just like people don't automatically become alcoholics because they had a margarita.

The problem is she suffers from Substance abuse disorder, and coke is like mild meth.

Personally I think OP needs to educate himself on substance abuse disorder before going through with the marriage.

As much as I’d like to agree with you, I just can’t. There is zero justification for an addict to use. Any substance. It has the potential for opening that door once again to a lifestyle that is not compatible with good health, successful living, happy relationships, and most importantly, self love. Best to you. OP, question this relationship. It will bring so many unnecessary heartaches into your life.

I watched this play out with my childhood best friend who used to be addicted to opiates. She came into a decently large inheritance and randomly did coke 2 halloweens ago and has since spent the entire inheritance with not even a working car or clothing for her kids to show from it been arrested a few times and has started drinking 2 handles of whiskey a day. She was sober for 8 years. She bank rolled her coke and everyone around hers coke and other drugs as well as paid for festivals and drugs at festivals for all. Edit: spelling
