Question Posted Saturday September 27 2008, 8:35 pm
Okay here it goes ( i posted asking for help but wouldn’t say what but now I decided to just say everything)..I have a boyfriend of 9 months as of the first of October he lives five hours away, well I kind of want a relationship here and lately we’ve been really disagreeing on things. i admit, i smoke marijuana but i really don’t think that its that bad.but yeah, i do it during lunch at school but have c's or higher in all my classes but one. My boyfriend hates it that i get high period. I want to stop for him but i love being high it feels so much better than sobriety and another thing i used to be bulimic but i stopped for three months but like a week ago i gave up and started throwing up. my boyfriend also doesn’t approve of this i know what i do is bad and wrong but its my body and my life. Its not i don’t want to be with him because he wont let me do what i want. I really want someone here. But you see every time we break up he gets emotional and cries and gets way too over dramatic. He’s tried to kill himself over me.=/ I don’t wanna break his heart but I want someone here. but yeah i really don’t know what to do about any of this on here so help pleaseee!
You both have different issues, but the long and short of it is this isnt going to work.
You want to do what you want to do, if you give in it gives him excuse to stifle you on any other issue he feels important.
He is emo and over dramatic. Suicide over a relationship is not normal. Personally, I would not stay with a person who did something like that. Sorry, but emotional blackmail and extreme self harm or attempts at it don't fly here, etc.
Some combination of this is going to come out of your mouth eventually. You might smoke pot but you seem to have a somewhat more level head than he does.

There is so much going against this long
distance romance so get out of it. If he
threatens to off himself, then contact
his parents, if you can. Tell him that
both of you need relationships in the
real world, close to home.
While marijuana probably isn't the worse
thing you could be doing, it is still
illegal. You really should try and stop.
Not to mention doing it at school in a
no drug zone...you could get in a ton
of trouble if caught.
You do need to seek help for the bulimia.
Please do. It can really mess you up.
I know you don't want to hurt his feelings.
He'll get over it though. Be as nice as you
can, but make sure he gets the message. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
