He is a somewhat recovered addict. I don't think I love him anymore after everything he's done . We have a two-year old he adores. He has the majority of childcsre responsibility. He's much better than he was. I think of leaving him all the time
This is a Q&A site. What is your question?

My mistake. My question is should I try to work this out or call it a loss?
That's not a question we can really answer with such limited information.

That's really something you have to decide. You can't leave this sort of decision to a bunch of strangers that don't know you or him, or anything other than what you posted. Not even your family or friends should make this decision for you. This is totally up to you I'm afraid.
You really haven't given us any information to go on.
Where is the background information? Why are you considering staying? Leaving?
Is he abusive? Still drugging?
ezesince1987, we aren't psychic. You are going to have to tell the story of your relationship before anyone can give you advice.

We have been together four years and have a two-year old. He went to rehab about a year ago. He is currently abusing adderall again. He does not have a prescription. He says he doesn't. Feel normal without pills. I don't think he is doing anything else but I've been surprised before. He is not going to meetings. He is the proudest dad I've ever seen and is more at home than I am because I have work and school right now. He is certainly better than he was but I'm worried he's backsliding. He caused so much damage at the height of his addiction. Not physically abusive but on the way to it before rehab. I used to be so focused on working things. Out but lately I don't care. I think of leaving all the time and being with other people. I don't even know if I love him anymore. I was just wondering if anyone has been through the same and how it turned out.

He's somewhat recovered? That's like pregnancy - you either are or you're not.
If you are unhappy, leave. If you are not, stay.
I doubt there's anyone here who hasn't had to work through a problem in a relationship. Some problems, of course, are far more serious than others. I realize he is or was in rehab - have you done any counselling? If he is abusive in any fashion you owe it to your child to keep that child healthy and happy and away from seeing or hearing abuse.
