The physical and mental effects these things have on a person are extremely strong. Your boyfriend is a chewer. Do you want him to think you accept him hurting himself(by chewing)? Or would you rather move on to find someone else with values more similar to your own? Since you love your boyfriend, this will be a hard choice to make. But sometimes, to show someone you love them, you HAVE to leave them. I guess it just depends on what you want for yourself and what you want for him.

NEVER ask and expect someone to quit smoking, chewing, drinking, or any of that other bad stuff for your benefit. Why? Because they won't stop unless they realize themselves that they must do it for themselves.
If you quit throwing that up in his face, then he will surely quit throwing the whole flirting issue into yours. I mean, if you keep reminding him you don't trust him about tobacco, he will keep reminding you that maybe he shouldn't trust you. Even if you really did nothing wrong, it is your word against theirs. Right?
Best bet? Learn not to fight over things that aren't worth fighting over. If he chooses to chew, then you have to either accept him or move on. It isn't worth fighting with him about.
Make sense?

Let him sleep mad he'll spend the night thinking on what he's doing and what needs to be done. When you try to talk time him approach him calmly and let himknow what happened. Since yo didnt cheat on him, he has nothing to be upset about.
