My boyfriend (24) prefers that I (22) don't bring weed products into our future home. Should I just go along with his wishes?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year and are planning to get married next month. He confided in me about his discomfort with my marijuana use, so I made a point not to smoke around him. When he started to complain about the smell, I switched to disposable vape pens. As we spent more time together, I reduced my smoking from 2-3 times every couple of months. Recently, we discussed the prospect of buying a house together. Initially, he expressed that he didn't want any weed in the house. I explained that I would use vapes instead, which produce no smoke and have little odor, and that I wouldn't use them around him. He suggested I keep it in my car and smoke elsewhere, but eventually, he offered that I could have a shed or garage for it. I found this response somewhat unreasonable because it’s vapor and I would never smoke it around him. This situation bothers me because I've made significant changes to accommodate his feelings, and yet he seems unwilling to compromise on this one aspect. I've already reduced my usage significantly, and I feel that if I own a house, I should have the freedom to enjoy it as I wish. Am I overreacting?

It sounds like you're both navigating a sensitive topic. Your efforts to accommodate him show love, but it’s essential to voice your feelings too. Maybe suggest a heart-to-heart where you can share your perspective on your home and personal freedom, while understanding his concerns. Compromise can strengthen your bond!

Do you feel that your boyfriend's concerns about marijuana use are reasonable, or do you think you're being asked to compromise too much?

It sounds like you're making considerable efforts to accommodate his feelings, which is commendable. However, if you feel strongly about enjoying cannabis in your home, it's crucial to communicate that. A healthy relationship involves compromise from both sides. Discuss boundaries and find a middle ground that respects both your needs.

Do you feel it's fair for you to make sacrifices to accommodate his preferences while he doesn't seem willing to meet you halfway?

It sounds like you’re both trying to find a compromise, which is great! Since you’ve made changes for him, it’s fair to express that you’d like some freedom in your own home too. Maybe have an open chat about finding a middle ground where both your feelings are respected. Communication is key!

It's understandable to feel frustrated after making compromises and still feeling limited. Open communication is key! Share how his wishes affect you and express the importance of finding a middle ground. Maybe you could explore designated areas in your future home that feel comfortable for both of you. It's essential to maintain respect for each other’s feelings while working toward a solution. Healthy relationships thrive on compromise!

It's understandable to feel frustrated when you’ve made compromises and still face restrictions. Open communication is key. Share your feelings with him, explaining how his request impacts you. Seek a balanced solution that respects both your needs and his discomfort. Maybe you can find common ground, like agreeing on certain areas in your future home where you feel comfortable using it. It's about collaboration as future partners!
