Oh Porky, you sound so sad and totally stressed out. Please, keep talking to us. The folks on this site are really giving some great advice and they've helped me out so much. I did fall and busted my butt, ALL ON MY OWN, and messed up a great quit. I had to start over. And my husband doesn't smoke. So, I guess my point is, you want to be a non smoker and you want this quit, and your health is at stake here. Your husband has got to realize that this is your health we're talking about here. Sometimes, a spouse just assumes that we're 10 ft. tall, bullet proof and flame retardant. They can't accept the fact that our health is going down a bit. So Porky, I think your doctor needs to have a little conversation with your husband. I'm sure your doctor would be glad to talk to him and maybe make him realize that smoke is causing damage to your bones and your over all health.
Sure, your husband has rights too. I really do believe that. But, his smoking in the house or around you is affecting you. He has the right to play roulette with his own health but smoke floats. Just like peeing in a swimming pool. He should have his own smoking area, completely away from you and the main living area, if he chooses to continue smoking.
Porky, I know you're aggravated with your husband and he's hurt your feelings. Some men are good at that. But try having your doctor talk to your husband or, better yet, have your doctor send a list of things that he wants you to do to improve your health. Not smoking or being around Second Hand Smoke should be on that list.
You just keep right on venting and reading. Until your up on your feet and can properly reason with your husband,<----that's scary too, make your room as nice as it can be. Hazelnut candles are great.
We're all here for you. Keep in touch.
Hugs,
Tutti
