AITA for telling him about what his mother said
My “boyfriend” is addicted
My (24) “boyfriend” (27) is probably a drug addict and I don’t know how to help or be there for him the right way as I don’t feel mature enough for this kind of stuff.
He has a son from his previous relationship and that relationship, losing his son and losing his job got he very much depressed. When we met I was so broken (we had buried my grandmother a month before) and lowkey looking for validation from anyone and he was a depressed drunk. First few weeks were great, met his parents and went to his family wedding together so we were SERIOUS.
During school holidays (I’m a teaching assistant) I got a bad cold and couldn’t go out with him as much as before so we had our first break up. After that one we had about 4 break ups and if I thought I was insecure before well this took things up by a lot. Meaning any and every time he texts or calls I pick up and go over to his parent’s house for a sleepover.
He would call maybe once or twice a month and this past weekend he texted and called, I obviously went over and he seemed different, when I ask what’s up he just brushed me off. I left it at that and over about my life until he texted that following Tuesday which was strange. I went over and on the way there, he told me that he is doing “speed” the drug and has been since his son was born. I let him talk and when we got to his home, he told me that he was going to do it that I should cover my eyes and things like that. Through the night he kept doing it and his door was lock which we never did and he went out for like 3 hours.
In the morning I went to work and tried to forget about it til his mom called me to tell me to not go to her home til further notice and I agreed because she said she wants him to get help and stuff like that which I fully support. She told me not to tell him about us talking.
He kept calling me and texting inviting me over and I couldn’t say why, excuses ran out today and I stupidly told him what his mom said. He called back with his mom acting oblivious as to what is going on and now I feel bad for causing all that.
Was I the asshole for telling him the truth?
I blocked and deleted both him and his mom…
