What do you mean? Has she said that?

or does your girlfriend like to do drugs and you don't?... and you don't understand why she does?

A few questions so that better advice may be given.

How old are you and your girlfriend?
How long have you been dating?
What kind of drugs is she doing?
Do you mean that you told her not to do them and she is choosing to do them?

Why is not being with her not an option?
I don't know, I would think if someone I cared for put drugs before me, knowing I was against them, they wouldn't be worth my time and they shouldnt be worth yours.

i think if the issue is her doing drugs and you not approving... it is a totally different issue if you are giving her an ultimatum or she just likes drugs and you don't

Plenty of couples like letting loose once in a while on drugs.. Sometimes its awesome doing something like that with your partner..

If however that is not your thing..and it it is hers.. I'd see it would be difficult for your personalities to mesh

ok I like my drugs very rarely once in a while.. but heroin and crack?!?!?... it might be a bit hypocritical... but there ARE some drugs which are worse than others.. and those too are the worst (and meth!)

would never touch those... if you do love her.. can you help her?

Answer is very simple. You told her not to do it, but she continues to do it. If you're not willing to dump her, then you have two options. Keep it all inside or continue to fight about it. Either way, you're gonna be frustrated to the point where you two will break up anyways.

I agree with what you are trying to say but 'telling' someone that you will break up with them or else... is very patronising..

If you truly cared about someone you would hope you would still treat them like an adult despite ( in your and in his opinion) the bad choices she is making
