Three women anonymously talk about being in relationships with drug addicts. This is a very specific kind of situation: none of these couples stayed together for a long time, had kids, or even joint bank accounts — and this made it easier for the women interviewed to leave the addicts they were dating. But even these brief connections were enough to show how easy it is for the addicts' romantic partners to develop all the harmful patterns of thought that are typical for long-term relationships. All the women interviewed by Broadly talked about how they saw themselves as the only source of hope for their drug-addicted partners, and how exhausted they were after the relationships ended.
