Hey its me again, about the should I chuck him or wait for a miracle. I've got another question, my boyfriend wants to do more pot which is completely against my morals. He has plans to do it this weekend. I want to use the old "three strikes your out" thing... but I can't help but feel like I'm controlling his life. He says "your my girlfriend, not my mother". Should I be so concerned with his life choices?

Emajayne agony auntthank you for all the responces. it doesnt hurt so much now. we are tryign to be civil no matter all the arguments we've had. we are tryign really really hard to make things work as friends. we both know that a relationship can never happen again. it just wont work. we hurt eachother deeply and there is just soo much stuff within the relationship that will never heal. I know there are other fish in the sea that i wont want to change, that i will love for who they are. Im just a teenager, and the whole relationship thing is a viscious cycle that is nesessary to learn things.

DJ8433 agony auntIT probably hurts more because he did the breaking up. I don't know where you are at with it today, but there are about 40 million men in the UK alone. That's was one, and from the concerns you had, probably not the best one. You have good moral value, and don't accept anything less than what you want in a partner ... ever.

DJ8433 agony auntAt this point the only 2 options you have are 1. accept it and compromise your morals or 2. reject it and tell him to leave. You can't control his behavior through any means, he has to want to change of his own "free will". Do you love him enough to compromise yourself by accepting his drug abuse and stay in the relationship? If you do, then you have to let it go as an issue. If you can't let the issue go, then let him go.

Relationships are about respect and compromise. If he doesnt respect you or your opinions then you need to re evaluate just why you are in this. Compromising is not something learned early on in life as that if he is between the ages of 17-21 he has so many big stages of his life and life he feels he needs to live and be free. More or less there is experiences out there he need to see and do. You should be doing the same, but on the other hand not compromising your integrity. If you dont want to do pot, speak up and say so. Standing up for yourself in the long run will gain the respect you deserve. Cowing down and doing whatever, whenever will just set you up to be stepped on, over and over.

Lastly, if illicit drugs are against your morals why are you settling for someone is not on the same page. Would you not be better off to be with someone that is of better moral standing, like yourself.....Think about that. I know its hard to leave when your in it, but in essense you are just prolonging the inevitable
