My Boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years. During this time my mother passed away from cancer and we have moved in together into a property that I have purchased. My Boyfriend and I are the same age, 25. He has been unemployed for over a year now and I have had to start working extra hours on the weekend to pay the bills. I thought that he understood that I had to work, however today he sat on the couch doing nothing while I was working. I then stopped working to spend time with him and half way through our first movie, he got up and decided to go to a friends house because we are drifting? I told him I thought he was rude doing this, he just threatened to leave me and left? Every time we have an argument he threatens to leave me and i m so scared and confused that he finally broke up with me. All I do is try to make the situation better for him but today i am happy, so excited that the he is back and promised never to break up with me again, this happened with the help of Dr. Mack after looking for help for the past 3 months and i was lucky to meet Dr Mack, His love spell work faster with no side effect contact him through

I agree with englishbaby explanation to the word addiction: “Addiction is simply when a person feels like they can’t stop doing something.”. That person glue on a habit, and normally bad habits or with consequences for health or affecting others. I can say that I’m addicted on walking after dinner! It’s a habit that I just can’t stop doing it. At the end, it results on less time with my wife and son, except if they join me. But I try to balance my selfish moment with dedication when I’m back home.


However, I’m not addicted to sports like a large percentage of men’s in Portugal, especially football! But I enjoy spending some time seeing a match with addicted persons, as I see two shows! And I share positive and negative emotions with them. It’s a way of being connected!
