I'm tired of stoners

Have been seeing my dp for 7 months, I knew he was a 'smoker' (and other things) when I started seeing him, so I feel I don't have much of a reason to be peeved, however, I would very much appreciate a bit of advice.

I don't smoke or take any sort of illegal drugs, just my choice and I don't judge those that do as it's simply their choice. When he comes to my house, he smokes his weed outside as I don't even smoke cigarettes and it wold make my house smell. He doesn't object to this.

I stayed at his place on Saturday night as he had the house to himself (flatmate away), so I was really annoyed when on Sunday morning this happened...

We had a nice lie in and everything and he went to get the papers and was going to make us a nice breakfast, a lovely, lazy sunday morning. However, his friend from the flat upstairs pops in, as he always does (v annoying) with some weed, so dp instantly 'skins up' and they start smoking several joints. It is really strong and there is a smokey fog about the place, so I went and sat in another room.

I thought to myself: 'what the hell am I doing here!', so I decided to head home as a stoned dp is not what I wanted to be with. DP totally taken aback by me wanting to go home as he couldn't see he'd done anything wrong. I felt like he had put me on hold until he was ready to pick up the romantic sunday element again. I just didn't want to be treated like that, but he made me feel like I was being totally irrational and unreasonable and he couldn't see why I was peeved.

Anyway, I left and feel like something insurmountable has happened, don't think we can come to an agreement over this. Sorry if this is long and rambling, it's really on my mind and I don't know what I should do or if it's worth trying to move forward on this. Thank you all for listening and thank you in advance for any advice.

What ATM said above. My ex was capable of any sort of behaviour that would lead to him getting what he wanted. He was VERY convincing too.
No matter what he says or how he behaves, remember what it is you want out of life, ie a drug-free relaxing environment where you are not constantly unsettled and undermined, and people in your life who are emotionally honest.
Good luck! Let us know how you get on. X

Hello - I've done the deed. I aranged for him to come round and see me... he brought me presents. Then I said I didn't want to continue as we had been, that we weren't making each other happy and I was ending it. I don't know where the strength came from as even when I was looking at him, I was thinking how sad I was to not see him again and how much I would miss him - the good him, not the stoned/high him.
He was clean when he came round and he seemed genuinely pleased to see me, this made it harder, but I just wanted to get to the time when I showed him out and closed the door.
So, it's done. I feel so sad, miserable and at a loss for what I should be thinking and doing and I have to go to work and smile and be helpful to the public and all I feel like doing is crying. Sorry to not sound positive about it, I hope I feel this way soon.

ABI, you have been incredibly strong and the fact that even through the pain, all you wanted was to show him the door...well that speaks volumes. You have done what's right for you.
You will have periods of sadness but they will pass and give way to excitement that finally your life is your own. So just allow yourself to feel what you feel, you have made a big change and need to adjust.

Hi ABI

You did what you ultimately had to do. That took a lot of inner strength.

Now you need to put that same inner strength you have to work on you. You need now to put your own self first for once. You need to be kind to yourself, recovery takes time.

I would also suggest you read a book called "Women who love too much" (think its by Robin Norwood).

Love your own self for a change!!!.

I wish you well
