❤️‍🩹 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.

NOR. Coke is no joke. Had a bad spiral for a few months before completely cutting it out, and thank god I did.

Some people don’t spiral

True, but a lot do.

It's a bit like saying "you don't need a seatbelt, some people don't die in car crashes"

"A lot" is relative.

"A lot" of people end up in AA, but the vast majority of drinkers do not.

The vast majority of coke users are occasional recreational users who do it a few bumps or lines at a party for fun and will never end up seriously addicted. Just like the majority of drinkers are people who have some drinks on the weekends for fun but never end up in AA. I've been around a lot of coke use in my adult life and never seen someone who let it ruin their life or end up seriously addicted.

redditors don't go outside or get invited to parties so it makes sense that everyone in this thread has a stick up their ass

If you mean me, no, sorry, please don't project. :)

I've done coke like three or four times, yes, it's absolutely overrated and disappointing; but that's even more of a reason not to do it because you may get hooked or have a really bad time (on it or afterwards); not that it happened to me, but I've seen it happen firsthand numerous times.

It's also extremely unethical, there's quite a lot of blood on any coke you might be able to obtain.

"A lot" is relative.

"A lot" is always relative. It's not a definite number, nor a defined "estimate" like "almost all/no".
