Hi Jane,
While I will not give you advice on what to do about your relationship - that's your decision. What I will say is that keeping quit is a lot tougher when another person is sneaking smokes inside the same home you share. Gently explain to him that you need his help to rid the house of all smoking materials (lighters, ashtrays, packs of cigs, etc) and by all means tell him there is no smoking in the house! If he cannot abide by this and help you out, then it's probably time to re-think the whole mutual respect issue. Better yet, have you thought about asking him to QUIT with you??? You can start off a whole new life with both of you healthier and happier.
Also, maybe you can find a job that you enjoy while he is at work. Employers love to hire non-smokers and you may find it exhiliarating!
I'm happy for you in that you have a newfound self confidence, be proud of what you have done and stay strong, despite what others may say/do. You own this quit and it sounds as if you are willing to protect it at any cost. Then I say, You Go JANE!!!!
