Dear Abby: Will 70-Year-Old’s New Pot Addiction Break up This Long Marriage?
The wife struggles with her husband's daily cannabis addiction as he nears 70, considering divorce after nearly 50 years of marriage due to ongoing tension and dissatisfaction.
- Recently, a wife wrote to Dear Abby, seeking advice as her husband’s daily cannabis use causes her to consider divorce, according to advice column by Abigail Van Buren.
- Her husband repeatedly quits then relapses, and some people smoke marijuana to relieve tension, depression, or boredom.
- After downsizing due to her mother’s death and daughter’s college move, she bought new furniture with weight considerations as she and her son weigh about 1,000 pounds combined.
- In her response, Abby suggested attending Nar-Anon meetings to gain insight into addiction and advised lightening up if no other reasons justify divorce.
- Despite medical reassurance, Abigail Van Buren asked why her husband uses cannabis daily and why she’s considering divorce, even though his doctor said 'probably won't kill him'.
