And that's what keeps a lot of good people in sick relationships, that sometimes it's ok. You're far too young to be trapped in this situation and you're way out of your depth: get some support for yourself, I suggest Al-Anon, it helped me stop supporting (out of love and the occasional good times) the last addict I was involved with...... oh no, it did for that relationship but then I got too closely involved with a friend who was addicted to alcohol and gambling who still owes me thousands of dollars I'll never see again.
I loved her very much but in the end I decided (and told her) I would continue to love her from a distance
Shes not trapped in the situation...shes trapped in her thinking which helped create the situation...her thinking wont change just because she breaks up with him
No, but if she's not around him she may see the situation more clearly. Longterm you're quite right, unless the thinking changes the same pattern will keep repeating itself, that's why I suggested AlAnon
I try to be honest and speak with him that I am indeed single now and I have that option to meet other people and date and so does he but he says that he won't ever
Is it normal that I'm still in a relationship with a meth addict

I'm so naive. I guess it's because he's my first for a lot of stuff and when he is sober we have a great time

There will be others, he ain't your last.

Like most addicts, he's talking crap, don't listen to him, listen to that little voice inside that's telling you you deserve much better than this
Well, that's his issue. Don't let him emotionally blackmail or guilt trip you. Good for you for asserting your singleness!
