Hello All,
I started dating this guy from work about 8 weeks ago. Our first meeting, he came over to my house drunk and probably stoned. He said he spent the day with a guy friend drinking and I thought that was okay. (Since I do not drink or smoke, this was all new to me.) As time went by, I realized he was drunk by the time he left my house. Let's just say that in a 3 hour period he could easily put away 6-7 bottles of beer (not including the ones he drinks prior to coming over) and smokes 1 blunt (looks like a cigar but has weed in it) during those 3 hours (not including what he smokes prior to coming over).
The problem, I have never dated a guy with these addictions before. Can these cause you to forget time, people, relationships? When together and at work, he acts like he really likes me alot. But why I ask this questions is because he has now twice stood me up (or even says he will call and doesnt) - - one time telling me he drank alot at a bar-b-que house party and fell asleep on the sofa and woke up several hours later, realizing he did not see me that evening as planned. The other time he stood me up was last night. We planned on getting together at around 7:30 pm and at 9:30 pm no call/no show. At work today we both pretty much avoided each other. Me, I avoided him because I was hurt and I can only assume he avoided me because he knows he messed up. He did walk by my desk at around 1 pm and touched my arm as he walked by. I think he gets so wasted that he forgets all about time and me.
Thanks to all for reading this.
