Q: Should I End This?
asked by: Jamie2006 on December 24th, 2004

I just found out my boyfriend of 1 1/2 years was using steroids in the first 4 or 5 months of our relationship. I found this out by snooping a bit not because he was open with me about it but because I did my research and found that at the begining of our relationship he spent a bunch of money on steroids. I would have never given him the time of day had I known that he was taking them (assuming that he did). Anyway he has not bought them for over a year I know this because of his order history on the net. Anyway I am thinking about leaving him (this is not the first time he has hidden something from me). Am I overreacting???? I am drug free and working my ass of to get through college and I feel like I deserve better.

Hm
Why do you think he quit? Does it really matter that he did steroids if he doesn't now? Is he good to you? Would he respect your wish for him not to do such things and stay away from them? Is it the steroids that you don't like, or are you finding there are more personality traits in him that seem to come hand in hand with "a steroid user" that don't appeal to you?

Trust !!!
Well you certainly didn't start this relationship honestly (he didn't anyway) but only you know if you feel that he is honest with you now. You did mention in your letter that there were other things, so again, you have to decide the importance of these issues. I , was married a an early age (23yrs--that was 20 yrs. Ago now). And my first husband lied about things that didn't seem to be significant, but eventually his lies caught up with him, and then I couldn't believe anything he said. I made the hardest decission every in my life, and that was to end the marriage. (we even had a baby to try again)(my son was 9months when I left) my motto is still to this date--once forgiven--twice done!! (but you have to decide the severity of the lie, but to me--no need to lie-unless you have something to hide. If the guy still does something and covers it up by lieing, and he knows how much you despise lieing--then dose he really respect you???Respect and love are always joined. Your not married, no children--start over fresh and let the new guy know how important it is to you --honesty, and drug free relationship (your future children will be glad you did)

Actually
Actually, he has never lied to me. Anything that I have found out when I ask him about it he is straight up about it which makes me wonder if it is not that he has hidden anything but that he is just not thinking through things enough to think "you know what, this is something my girlfriend should know about". Anyway I knew about this because I saw an order history on the internet but he said he threw them away and never took them because the whole idea was sorta gross to him and also because we started to get serious. Which I believe mostly becuase he has never lied and also becuase he was never that big, furthermore it is not realy in his character to do that. The fact that he never gained weight or got any bigger never occured to me, maybe because I was so upset I just didn't think about it. So now I sorta feel stupid but oh-well

Your Answer!!
Well it sounds like you are defending your boyfriend, and believe in your relationship, which is good if it is what you want. Never feel stupid for questioning something. You heard a couuple of opinions without getting family or friends involved (whom of which might hold a grudge against him). Now you can just be in love and enjoy-- good lluck!!
