It's not that I have been dishonest with my explanations,
it's that he can't accept my explanations and therefore he thinks I am being dishonest.
I have told him this: I don't like the idea of being with someone who uses drugs recreationally-- even if it is a relatively innocuous drug like marijuana. He actually knew this about me even before we met. I don't care if people smoke pot or if my friends smoke pot, but I have made it clear to him that I do not want to be in a romantic relationship with someone who smokes pot. He considers this unacceptable and needs to have a reason that he understands. I have had bad experiences in the past with an ex who smoked pot occasionally. It really bothers me to be with someone for whom marijuana is a part of his life, and I suppose this is in part because of my experiences in the past.
Suffice it to say that this has been a real point of contention between us. I really do hope we can resolve this and move forward together.
