"It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one’s own faults." - Buddha |
Jesus. You are delusional. No wonder your wife gets stoned. |
| NP here. I would find it hard to be married to someone who used all day every day. But my goodness, OP. You come across as really judgmental and everything you’ve posted about your body and fitness compared to hers is just too much. Maybe she is self medicating for anxiety that can come from living with a judgmental partner. I think you’d both benefit from marriage counseling on this topic. |
Does she post about that to get advice. |
You are lonely and look or positive reinforcement. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/writing-integrity/202008/why-do-people-troll-online https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/experimentations/201908/what-makes-internet-trolls-tick |

OP, it’s unfortunate that your wife has chosen to go down the path of being a loser (yes, I will call a spade a spade) and that you two have raised your child to similarly have low standards. BUT she’s still your wife, and you must remember your vows.
Keep loving her in spite of herself. That requires to tell her the truth where it’s required (that’s she’s being a loser) but also accepting her as she is and being kind to her. It sucks, but it really will make you a better person. Abraham Lincoln was devoted as ever to his mentally ill opioid addict wife, and no one can doubt that he was a good man with sterling character. |
Yikes. You only live once. Once the kid is raised, what you be the point of staying in a relationship as you've described it? |
That person is still there. Why not shower her with compliments now? She's obviously doing lots of work, and it sounds like to me that you aren't adequately appreciating all the she does. You're just focusing on her faults. How about taking some time to really be grateful and point out all she does well? |
| I would not be okay with a partner self-medicating like that. She's not acting like a responsible, mature adult. It would be different if she worked with a therapist for a number of years, tried a number of meds to see if they helped, changed her lifestyle (eat healthy, sleep well, exercise and meditate daily), but then decided that the pot was the best way to manage her (diagnosed and self-acknowledge) issues. |
What’s the point of going to the moon? What’s the point of building the Taj Mahal? What’s the point of being a good husband to your crappy wife (probably the hardest and most noble of the 3)? You either have greatness in you or you don’t. Of course, most people are okay with being mediocrities or worse their whole life. But a lofty aim is worth having, and magnificently more than “the point”. |
She says I have no choice but to accept it. |
Why does staying with someone make you a good person? Are you saying divorce makes people bad people? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Let me guess, you're a little league coach. |
LOL really? Weed is a "journey" now? Would you say the same thing about someone who poured themselves a g&t first thing? signed, someone who drinks and smokes but knows that daily and especially workday smoking is disordered |
| I don't. |
I think this is typical weedspeak for some people. My wife detests when I refer to it as "weed." The only proper and respectful way to refer to it is cannabis. He dream job is also being a spokesperson and advocate for the cannabis industry. Cannabis Is A Journey.
