My boyfriend gets so high he can’t have sex?

My boyfriend of 3 years is addicted to weed and I don’t smoke at all. Our sex life isn’t great because he’s always so high that he can’t even have sex with me. It sometimes hurts my feelings because it happens to often. I’ve talked to him about it but he says he doesn’t mean to get that high. Any advice?

  • He’s addicted. Remember that addiction is to be treated as an illness. It doesn’t mean he’s weak or he doesn’t want to quit or he doesn’t care. He’s affected by an addiction. Addictions are extremely common in humans, and some are more consequential than others. Unfortunately many people, including some specialists, don’t know how to deal with addiction correctly and make it worse. And it can be extenuating to be close to a person with an addiction. You are in a special role because you can reach to him, but you pay all the consequences and you can get burned out. It would be understandable if you decided to quit because of the fatigue.

    First of all, discuss it in no other terms with him. If he had a way to quit his addiction, would he take it? Probably the answer is already positive, but he doesn’t know it is possible. Involve a professional! Rehab, a private therapist, whatever. He might even try a few different options before he finds one that feels right. During this time he will need a lot of support and understanding, because the process is painful. Don’t underestimate the toll it can take from you, and again, consider if you’re ready for that. It would be honest for you to leave. Never ever blame him for lack of progress or relapses. Never! Not even as a joke. You can be frustrated, but that feeling is about you, not him. Don’t expose him to needless judgment.

    Remember that the root of addiction is often deep suffering, maybe from trauma, or sense of isolation, or feeling unloved. These might feel personal to you, but they are not. These are the wounds he carries. Be delighted that he manages to show you love even so. But don’t take shit. You’re allowed to set boundaries. He could blame you or other people he loves, and even though he doesn’t really mean that, it’s fucking painful and you don’t have to receive that. It’s good to love him and support him. It’s not okay to lose yourself in the process.

  • Girl you better show some backbone and force sex on him regardless if he's high or not. When I was 17, one of my girlfriends did somewhat similar to your situation. Came over to my house while I was playing my game Cube at the time, she wanted to have sex but I wasn't in the mud because I was beating up people in video games. She took my memory card that belongs to my console and shoved it so far up inside of her that I was forced to have sex with her just to get it out. Let's just say my mouth got extremely sore of a three-hour eating process if you know what I mean. But by the time I got it out I just tossed it aside and just focus on her.

    • That is a great story. I do not believe it but still is a great story.

    • @exitseven Well it happened 10 years ago so I wouldn't expect anyone to believe it. A lot can happen in ten years from 2011 to 2021.

Most Helpful Girls

  • I'd break up with him. Well, actually, I never would've dated him in the first place. I would never date someone who smoked weed, even just occasionally, but your guy sounds seriously addicted.

  • Weed can cause problems for a man's prostate. Or, at least, it's affecting his libido.

    • Just be straightforward with him and let him know that his weed addiction is affecting your sex life and his health in general. In case you can't get him to stop but you don't wanna deprive him of his high, suggest having him smoke it AFTER making love to you, as if it was his "prize" for satisfying you.

  • Time to trade him in and upgrade to a better model?

  • Not good, he needs to get into addiction rehabilitation, but I'd worry about the future of your relationship, if it was me I'd move on. While weed is safe and perfectly fine in moderation, excessive use is linked to mental and cognitive behavioural problems, and that is going to lead to problems in your relationship in years to come, I've seen it first hand.

  • Dump him and find someone who respects you, cuz he doesn't.

  • Yeah, I have some advice. Find a real man and move on.

  • It sounds like he's got a major drug issue, and needs to see rehabilitation. If he's that depended on it to where he can't even function then it's a major issue.

  • This guy is never going to change. No sex, then the only places you can go is places where he can smoke weed. The only friends he will have are other druggies. He is going nowhere in life and you do not want to go there with him.
    Find somebody who will want to share your life and will be great in the sack.

  • Breakup

  • Get a new boyfriend. He's more interested in himself than you based on his actions.

  • Time to find a new boyfriend, lol.

  • women think their orgasm is the most important thing in the world

  • Tell him to go get help. If he doesn't... RUN.

  • Looks like you have a decision to make

  • You need to ask yourself why he's still your boyfriend

  • Leave him or get him to rehabilitation

  • Leave him if he can’t control his addiction

  • It's doubtful he will ever change. What you see if what you get. He needs a stoner for a girlfriend.

  • I bet he was the one who hit on you or asked you out
