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.

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?

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, 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!! Posted: 12-30-04 23:07pm
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!!
