Question - (30 March 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 31 March 2008)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So my boyfriend quit smoking pot for me for a year, but now, due to feeling depressed, he's started again. He says he doesn't see anything wrong with being high all the time. He says he quit because of his love for me, but now he thinks we shouldn't have to change ourselves for each other. He tried to break up with me once, but came back the next day and cried and told me how much he loves me. We've been fine for 3 weeks, but now he says that he's confused and doesn't know if we should stay together (oh, but he loves me.)

I thought the problem was the weed, but really I think it's his depression. He keeps saying he's 'frustrated' with his life, even though he has everything he could want (3 video game systems, 2 tvs, psp, tons of games, movies, he makes good money and is about to get a promotion, i make him dinner every night and do his laundry and dishes.) He comes home from work really angry and wants to just scream or hit the wall or something (never me, don't worry) and says he's just crabby and frustrated and basically won't talk to me. His solution for this feeling is smoking pot. I can't get him to go to a Doctor, and to add to the problem, his entire family smokes pot and encourages him doing it.

Problem is, I love him more than I coul ever imagine loving someone, even though I'm young. I have no idea what to do to help him without nagging him or trying to control him. HELP. I do not want a break up!

Hunny you need to get him some help. REHAB. Maybe it's his job ..... maybe suggest a new job if that's whats bothering him.... If it's you then you need to leave him . even if he does say he loves you . maybe with professional help he can get his fam help too . :)

GOOD LUCK

I hope I helped you in some way ....

I wish you the very best
