Got dumped last night. I vented to my ex about how much it pissed me off that I couldn't smoke weed living at home because other people just don't want me to out of preference (rather than because it causes an actual problem) and she can't help but see me as a selfish, immature pothead. I'm pissed off and just shocked. I thought she was a smart, rational person, and I tried to explain my side and it went nowhere. She has these prejudices about pot that trump even love for her, apparently. I don't think she really loved me, though. She looks down on me so easily. Ugh. I fucking hate relationships. I meet a person who I think is great and it takes until actual problems that I find out that they're not.
The worst part is I don't even feel liberated. I don't want to fuck anyone or anything. I still want her back because she's great minus that one trait, and I think I can change it.
She's dividing reality into social stereotypes and seems to lack the faculty of evaluating people for who they really are as individuals.
The second you value changing someones perceived flaws that much, you need to get out.
It is one thing to want to help someone with a problem they have, but to desire to change them means you probably are invested in a futile effort.
I told her she was being unreasonable for looking down on me because of misconceived prejudices. She said "you think it's rational that a pre-med student is dating a pothead?" I told her it's rational for anyone to date anyone if they love them.
Should I let it go? She would rant about people all the time and rejoice that I'm not like them. It seems to me like her "love" was pretty much just an absence of hate, and now that I'm doing something she hates, it's compromised.

it seems like you are more affected that you couldnt change her to be more like the way you wanted, than having being broken up with.
If you don't smoke pot, people who regularly do can grate nerves pretty easily. Also I'm pretty sure some people consider giving up the pot as a kind of growing up. Blah blah blah but that isn't fair blah blah blah. Since when was anything bitch?
IGNORE HER
I would be all 'If it's not about hooking up, I'm not interested'
