This Is Why I Rock

My boyfriend and I (by the way we worked things out) went to a Chinese restaurant the fortune cookie I received I did not quite understand when I read it. The fortune read:

“Today, taking a supportive role might benefit the group dynamic.”

I tried my best to figure out what it meant, but now I think I understand.

It was not until last week did I figure it out. My boyfriend and I have worked things out but I still have a problem with him.  He has the habit of smoking weed.  I do not approve of it and he knows. This habit is what almost caused us to break up again. He did not smoke until we broke up for 9 months. Recently his mom found out and has been talking about doing something in order for him to have a reason to stop.  He has told me that he does want to stop.  He says he has lowered the amount of times he does smoke now.  I think it would be better if he just quit altogether, but I try to let him do it his own way. I told him one night that even though he may not feel like it, I believe that he has the ability to stop.  He thanked me for being so supportive of him even though he has hurt me so much in the past.  What he does not understand is that I want this relationship to work and if that requires me to just hold back and be supportive then I guess that is what I will have to do.
