“Stay in relationship despite knowing about his addiction”

My boyfriend lied to me about his addiction and depression, causing me to feel ashamed and unsure about our relationship

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had noticed the signs of his addiction earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with your partner and seek help if you're struggling with addiction"
