My husband has smoked for years...35 to be exact. We have been married for 30 years. He is slim, but not very healthy, I think. He almost quit just recently and I was so proud of him and told everyone that I was. He was down to about one cigarette a day. I feel like garbage when he smokes because he does it in the house, car, whatever. It makes me feel like a smoker myself. I feel that if I wanted to smoke, I would have kept it up in college, so you see, I know what it is like to be a smoker, but not what it's like to be a non-smoker, even though I don't smoke. I am sorry this sounds bitter. I am mad. Tell me what to do. I am ready to move out. We have a great marriage, but I don't want to feel crappy anymore because of someone else's vice. He refuses to go outside to smoke.

Sometimes it takes time for a person to quit smoking. My mom has been smoking for over 20 yrs no matter what I told her it didnt change her mind until she decided to quit to make her life healthier .Its up to him if he wants to quit and when you cant push those things . I would imagine he is going through stress or depression if he is smoking. You need to tell him that what he is doing is not healthy and that he should see a doctor probably so they can tell him how his smoking is effecting him . If he doesnt get it then i guess he is not ready to quit again. Dont give up on him have hope! I hope I helped. Good luck ♥Kate

(Rating: 5) Good advice, thank you! I think he has been stressed, maybe he can try again when he is less stressed. -C
