The discussion centers on a conflict between a person and their girlfriend regarding her use of marijuana, which he finds repulsive and a deal-breaker. Despite previously agreeing to her smoking while on a trip, he feels increasingly uncomfortable as she resumes her habit, especially after a negative experience where she smelled of weed and tobacco. The relationship has faced multiple arguments over this issue, and he questions whether his feelings are overly sensitive. Contributors suggest that if he cannot accept her drug use, he should consider ending the relationship, as she is unlikely to stop. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the importance of aligning values in a relationship, particularly concerning substance use.

All I am saying is don't disapprove an activity just because.
But if he has already made a decision about his attitude, leave her. Good for both of you.

He doesn't disapprove "just because"; he gave perfectly valid reasons for not liking them.

Fair enough.
At one point I was sleeping really late and waking up at midday. She didn't like it for various reasons so I changed that. It's just some little stupid things like that which don't really affect either of us directly but makes us dislike the other for it anyway.
Ok, so you're sort of in love, and not, in various ways. Anyway, what are you doing getting up at midday? I'm assuming you're a young person and a scientist. Ok, sure, I used to get up at the crack of noon, but I was an aimless loadout at the time. Are you an aimless loadout? If not, then for god's sake man pull it together. Or, am I missing something in your presentation? Anyway, best of luck. I don't think you have a super difficult problem here. Are you the person with the marijuana smoking girlfriend? Well, things could be a lot worse. You might consider hooking up with a non-marijuana smoking girl. Just a suggestion. Personally, in my experience, I've not found marijuana smoking to be much of a problem. Addictions to pills? Yeah. Shooting up heroine and/or cocaine? Yeah. But marijuana, no. So, I have to believe that you're going to work this out.

My personal recommendation: tennis and luke warm showers. Plus, veggy juicing. I know, it sounds silly. Oh, and lots of yogurt (with fruit), and water. It might not fix your romantic situation, but I guarantee you'll feel good.

she smoked when you met her - she has not responded to your protest as yet, most likely she will not stop. Either learn to live with it or part ways
