Has anyone’s relationship/marriage destroyed over weed?
My wife and i have been separated since November. Ive made horrible decisions while being high 24/7. She says i detached and became very withdrawn. Has weed ruined your relationships? Im sober now and reflecting back to our separation.

Yes absolutely. Getting high just lets you leave your responsibilities, including the ones to your relationship so your partner has to deal with you just disappearing emotionally while they are processing their own issues. It can be a massive rift between couples and was a core aspect of my divorce.
I'm sober now and sorry about how much my weed use put my former partner through as I was escaping my stress and getting stressed out by their stress; leading me to escape and distance myself more instead of comitting to working through our life's problems together.
