My boyfriend (22M) won’t stop smoking weed even after we (19F) both agreed to
For context: me and my boyfriend had got baptized this November. We’re both trying to become better people through Christ . (Please don’t ridicule us for our religion) With being baptized my boyfriend agreed he would slow down and eventually stop smoking. For the past 2 years he’s been an avid smoker.
He first agreed to only smoking on the weekends Friday-Sunday (which I hate that he chooses Sunday to smoke but i agreed because i know he can’t just withdraw so quickly)
Then he started to smoke a spoon (basically a pipe of weed) daily. He literally hits it as soon as he wakes up.
I stressed my concerns and he then agreed that he wouldn’t smoke blunts he would ONLY smoke the spoon all week to slow down.
So I try to hold him accountable because he knows he has an addiction and he came to me saying that he wants to quit.
The problem that now lies is he’s always making excuses to smoke a blunt or something like todays excuse is “it’s new years” on top if that when he smokes the spoon… he literally packs a bowl every hour it feels like. It feels like he’s not even trying to slow down.
Now he’s at the neighbors house smoking with him. And I’m disappointed because the neighbor told him he was not going to stop smoking weed and he’s proving him right despite my boyfriend saying he wanted to prove him wrong.
Anyway last time I hello him accountable he told me to “mind my business” and got really crappy with me.
It’s upsetting because him his self said he wants to stop smoking because it makes him lazy, in which it does. When he smokes he goes to sleep and doesn’t feel like doing anything. He also gets very irritable and nasty when he doesn’t smoke in which that’s the biggest sign of addiction. Also his mom hates it and she also wants him to quit.
What do I do? I’m concerned he’s never going to slow down. And I don’t want to be with him if he’s going to continue this behavior. I feel like he loves his temptations more than god.
I’m also stressing because i have a cat which stays at his house and if we break up, I won’t be able to see or have my cat due to me still living with my parents while in college.
Tdrl; my boyfriend won’t stop smoking despite his awareness of the negative effects to his life. It’s like he’s not even trying to slow down I’m not saying weed is bad, but it is bad for him. When I try to hold him accountable he gets crappy with me.
Update: I broke up with him. Happy new years!!!🤭
