Quitting pot for her: UPDATE

[moeburn]

A long time ago I asked you guys whether or not you think its worth it to quit smoking pot for a girl. Many people said she must be joking, just keep on toking. However, a few people realised how pathetic it must be that I find getting high more important than my girlfriend.

Well, when she asked me to quit, I did, and then after about 2 or 3 months, she gradually started letting me smoke again. First only at parties, then just around her, and now whenever the hell I want. She was just worried that I only liked her because I was high all the time.

So here's a heads-up to all you love-nuts out there. If your significant other asks you to quit, it might only be temporary.

That's great news, Moeburn! I'm glad you gave us the happy ending to the story. If I'd been a girlfriend to a steady smoker, I'd likely have had the same concern. I mean, really, if it seemed like a guy had to be stoned or drunk to interact on a romantic basis or be comfortable enough to be with me, that would definitely be a concern. Glad you alleviated her fears and that she wasn't insisting you quit because of some moralistic judgment against cannabis itself.

That's pretty cool. Sounds like she just wanted to know you, without being high, first. And she probably saw that you were willing to give it up for her and was like "Damn! This guy must really like me!" Glad to hear it all worked out!!!!!!!!!!

That's cool dude, and definitely, you gotta pick what's more important, and you shouldn't be high all the time, especially around your girl. My girl doesn't like weed, but she's fine with me smoking, and I've smoked around her as well.

you got lucky... most 'significant others' want you to quit for their own personal reasons.... alot of which for the simple control factor.... the next highest percentage comes from govt. inspired propoganda....

besides... i hate to rain on your parade... but there's still a high probability your first big fight she'll throw it in your face....

wife was wanting me to quit too... and instead of just standing up and saying no, i kept leading her on with hope i would eventually.... after awhile it was one of her major peices of ammuntion durring our fights...

she wasn't the first that wanted me to quit and she wasn't the first to use that as 'ammo' durring arguments/fights either....

I used to smoke everyday until I met a special girl who I quit weed for.

Yeah, girls really hate it when you need to get wasted in order to enjoy being with them more.
She had an ex who was a drunk and she broke up with him for that, and another ex who was a pothead that wouldn't even touch her unless he got stoned first.
It meant a lot to her that I stopped weed altogether for her.
Actually, you guys must be wondering where I've been the past 8 months. Well... we broke up and I'm back to smoking! LOL!

When smoking with the same free loading drug addict careless friend every weekend got really boring and depressing for me I got a girlfriend and quit weed altogether for her including visiting this site. It was worth it though. I met a lot of new people and made a lot of new friends because I was socializing again. I really cared about her a lot though. I did a lot for her. Instead of spending money on the next dime it went to her. She became my new drug lol!

Don't ever cheat on your girl with Mary Jane. Even though MJ ain't even a human it still hurts.
"Hey baby, naw I'm too lazy to see you right now, I just wanna get high and eat my dinner.."
Or
"ooh.. make love to me now" - "Hang on baby, I totally gotta get high for this moment!"
lol yea chicks hate dat shit

I would never quit for a girl, I quit for I and I alone. If a girl likes me, then she can't try and change me, she should respect my decision to smoke a peaceful plant which doesn't cause anyone but potentially myself minimum harm. She should like you for who you are. My g/f doesn't blaze and maybe never will but i respect her decision and would never force her to smoke as she would never force me to quit. I would never deprive myself of happiness for sexual, animalistic pleasures. I want both

This would be much easier if you were a degenerate, like me. :glugglug:

I'm not sure you understood what he was telling us her motivation was. She didn't make that request to change him or to deprive him of happiness. She just wanted to make sure the only reason he liked her wasn't because he was high all the time.

I understood, i just felt like sharing my own opinion.

She should have known that he liked her when they agreed to go out... He was probably sober at the time of asking, if not: there were sober occasions when feeling were shared. Of this I am sure.
