I need my boyfriend to stop blowing his salary on weed before our baby arrives
DEAR DEIDRE: IF my boyfriend thinks he can blow half his salary on weed when our baby arrives, he’s got another thing coming.
I’m sick of him breaking promises to stop.
I never realised how much he smokes until he moved in with me

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
We have been together for four years and I never realised how much he smokes until he moved in with me.
I didn’t mean to get pregnant but the Pill didn’t work after I had a tummy upset.
Our baby boy is due next month. I’m panicking as there are still lots of things we will need.
We are both 27. How can I get my boyfriend to give up?

You can encourage him to get support too.
