Is his love gone or is it a typical behaviour for pot smokers?

I’ve been in a relationship for 5 and 1/2 years, we lived together for a year but it didn’t really work out so we live seperate again. The relationship continued although I seem to be the one doing most (all)of the efforts.
My boyfriend wants to be alone a lot, we usually see each other only in weekends but even then sometimes he says he wants to be alone. He sleeps a lot (4 hours on sat and sun afternoons plus at night) , feels bad a lot.I think he smokes a lot of marihuana.Are this typical reactions of a person smoking? Sometimes I get the feeling he doens’t love me anymore..but then sometimes when he feels good , it all seems fine. This is real hard to deal with cause he makes me feel real bad sometimes.He only thinks about HIS moods and HIS ways.If he wants to see me then it’s fine, if not I have to deal with it.Even though I know his behaviour is not right towards me I kept on loving him through all that cause I love him very deeply but I am beginning to wonder if he’s worth it..he doen’t seem to consider my needs at all.Leaves me alone home during the weekends while I want to be with him.

umm… if you love him… why the hell are you not finding help for him. of course smoking pot ***** up your brain and mood and personality. he’s most likely suffering from depression. you need to seek help yourself and get some professional help on how to get him help too.

I smoke pot, and I can say this is abnormal. Weed doesn’t make you retarded, it relaxes you and makes everything funny. Ask your boyfriend what’s wrong.

hmm, forget this guy and his issues..what is YOUR major damage? Why in the world are you with, or would you wanna be with, a guy like you are describing..self-centered, self-absorbed, cold, inconsiderate, off-putting, etc, etc.?

Yep, no one else has realized it, but this is not about the Boyfriend, this is about finding out what issues you have that make you accept this type of behaviour.

And just to address the pot thing, what does it matter why he treats you badly, the bottom line is he treats you badly…no matter what you find to blame it on.

Good luck, hope this gets your gears turning.

It sounds like he is depressed, he’s probably self-medicating. If he can’t love himself he won’t be too able to love anyone else, he needs to quit or cut down and maybe talk to someone about how he feels.

Thanks to all of you , your answers make me think…although they don’t help me cope with the pain. He just told me on chat that he doens’t want a relationship anymore..he needs to work through things of his past and needs to seek why he can’t accept (my) love and give love as he should……leaves me with nothing.Never knew love was so hard to deal with….I mean the pain afterwards, it seems unbearable at times.

My boyfriend used to smoke pot all the time, and he treated me horribly, I threatened to leave him several times before he straightened up his act, he actually quite smoking for me. not something I expected, though I did want it. I’m sorry you had to deal with it as long as you have, the fact that he’s trying to figure himself out, kinda makes me think it might be ok for you in the end, but he may just end up not coming back and smoking his life away, either way you should move on, find some one new who treats you wonderfully, and let your ex watch you being happy, then he’ll either realize his mistake, or not care, if he realizes his mistake, he’ll quit smoking and come back and treat you better, if he doesn’t care then he never loved you anyway and its good that you got out of the relationship when you did.

Thanks for this reply. Guess I will have to move on anyway…I have no choice unless I want to destroy myself completely..I have cried and cried for months……I know how it feels to be real sad..Guess he’s not worth is..problem is that love goes it’s own way….it doens’t stop when you ‘d want to…

Why are you with a pot smoker if you aren’t one?? It won’t work. Plus, the fact that he doesn’t even want to see you indicates he is NOT interested in you or the relationship anymore.

I read in another post you wrote that you asked him to go on a trip and he got all quiet and didn’t say a word. That’s not the pot talking, that’s him not giving a s*** about you.

Move on. He’s clearly not interested anymore.

Indeed, the relationship has endend 8 months ago. Thanks for replying anyway, it is sometimes hard to see things when you are still emotionally involved. I was ..then.
He got into a new relationship 2,5 months after we ended ours for the 4th time..
I do see things differently now , once you are no longer involved things become clearer..
Thanks you for the good advice..I wasn’t ready to follow it then ..but I certainly am now !!
