OK, as many of you know, I have a smoking BF as of recently. He has expressed desire to quit, but I'm a little weary about this. I know how we get when we quit... moody, irritable, cranky and sometimes, down right mean! It's REALLY early in the relationship and I'm not sure that him quitting is going to be a good thing this early on. I don't want to deter him from quitting, of course, but I also know what it's like and I know what to expect and I'm not sure this is good this early. At the same time, the stench is starting to get to me. He doesn�t smoke around me much (thank goodness!) but when he does, OH MY! I want to run out of the room! But to be honest, the smell I can handle. The worst part is that it causes A LOT of temptation to smoke when we�re out with friends. Last night, I easily could have lit up. I was miserable because EVERYONE was smoking except me! I felt so out of place! No, I�m not ending the relationship over this, though. But him quitting could end up being the end if he gets the way that many of us do. I mean, I'm sure that I could probably put up with it since I know what it's like and I know that it's temporary, but knowing how irritable he will probably be, I might end up annoying him because he's on edge anyway. I mean, you know how the little things that your friends and family did that used to not bother you, all of a sudden become the worst things in the world when you quit? That's what I'm worried about! What do you guys think? I don't want to tell him that he shouldn't quit, but I also don't know if him quitting will be good for this very new relationship. I also don't know how long I can stand the temptation everytime we go out! But what I know for sure is that I don't want to end this just because he smokes! I don't know what to do!
Crave the Quit!
