Q: weed smoking
asked by: vampire_sweetness86 on July 14th, 2008

hello,

I met my bf online and during this time i knew he had a felony for having weed.. or something to do with weed.. anyway it never acurred to me that he was still using.. i shoulda asked but i wasnt thinking about that sorta thing back then so he moved here DE from CA and when he got here he wasnt smoking weed but then he got a job graveyard shift and met someone who sold it (and now they are friends) now i didnt know this "friend" sold weed at the time and i didnt know my bf was smoking either but i started getting suspicious and smelling it on him every so often but i wasnt going to say anything until i had proof so one day i had proof and asked him about it and he told me he was doing it. I dont like him smoking it for many reasons mostly because of it being illegal since he's been here he has had atleast 3 or 4 times when cops have came around and questioned him of course he has always gotten out of it.. oh and he doesnt just smoke it every once in awhile he is a POTHEAD! There are times when i have asked him to stop but that doesnt go on for long he usually starts up again the next week.. I told him he has to stop when i get pregnant and he said ok.. but what if he doesnt? i dont want my child to be raised up seeing his/her father smoking weed or smelling it either.. My father was an alcoholic and drug user of all sorts and i dont want my child raised in that environment..

Do you think i am doing the right thing??

P.S we were online as bf and gf for 2 yrs.. We have physically been together for alil over a yr.

This is doubt that you yourself are going to get him to quit. When a person quits an addiction for that reason (someone else) they grow to resent that person and they are most likely going to start up again. They have to come to grips with the addiction and do it for themselves.

He'll only stops if HE really wants to. I don't believe he will do it for you. (I don't mean to sound cruel)My partner smokes too and has since he was young. He's been through a traumatic experience which is still unresolved. We had a son 2 yrs ago and he stopped for a while and then has started again. (he used to take harder stuff aswell but when we had our son he quit that but not the dope)I guess it's a personal choice. if he really wants to he will. If he doesn't he won't. If there are issues he needs to deal with , only he can do it... Maybe try putting off having a child until he stops. It's not fun having a relationship or raising a baby with a pothead. Trust me..

If you're a child of an alcoholic, you might want to try Al-Anon. It sounds like you might be re-creating the environment you grew up in. A 12-step program (it's all free and anonymous) might help you break old patterns. This dude sounds seriously not good for you. Stopped 3-4 times by the po-lice! Girl, that is not good.
