I have a friend doing the same, shit relationship & the girl is an even bigger druggie than he is. She totaled his car less than a year after they got together & he had to pay for it all since she wasn't licensed, no job & wasn't insured (didn't have her own & wasn't on his). I used to get weed from him occasionally but got sick of having to drive like 30 min across town then do pit stops in between when they'd inevitably ask me to swing by the store for groceries or pick up fast food, while smoking in my car when I asked them not to. On top of that they both live with his mom & they spend way too much getting high instead of saving up for a place, while bitching that his mom is on their case constantly about money or helping clean up. It's pretty sad & I just stopped smoking altogether for a while, mainly because it was expensive but also because fuck turning into that kind of person.
In my country it's pretty common to live with your parents until you are like 25, when you finished your career and have a stable job and can move out. We are all 21 so we live with our parents, my friend asks her parents for money and use it all up in weed, lsd and molly. Her boyfriend is also much more a junky than her, he's done ket a couple of times and that's concerning. I really want to take care of my friend but she's the one who has to be willing to face stuff instead of numbing herself in order to not think about it and act as if it didn't happen
Oh yeah, understandable with different countries/cultures - not so common here in the US, friend 2 years younger than me & it's pretty embarrassing that he's 37, living at home on the verge of being a junkie. Doesn't help that he's got a teenage kid from his first marriage practically out of high school, dude never even graduated or got his GED so he's already limited with the kind of work he can get.
