A little backstory: I live with my best friend of 8 years who is gay and his boyfriend. We moved into a house together 3 weeks ago. They've been together
almost a year off and on. The boyfriend is a former drug addict. They dated for a few months and then broke up because the boyfriend got drunk, high on coke,
and cheated. They got back together about 4 months later because he had gotten sober. Until Saturday he had been sober for 6 months.
Fast forward to today. We haven't seen Eric for 2 days. He left for work one day and went out after, drank, and slept at his old apartment on the floor (which he has until the end of the month, rent is overlapping). He said he was going to spend the day at the library for some "alone time" to think and whatnot. We didn't see him at all for the rest of the day or night. This morning, after being up all night worrying, my friend goes over to the apartment and Eric is high off his rocker, and has spend every penny he has on drugs and alcohol that he's consumed ALL of. We made sure he wasn't dying and left him to sleep it off. Meanwhile, we are both furious, but my friend is completely distraught. He spends the whole day being angry, hurt, upset... swearing he's done. And now, we're all home, and he's cuddling with him in bed because his boyfriend, the one who spent all weekend binging, is "sore".
He cannot keep hurting my best friend like this.
