AIBU - Not smoking in the house?

I've changed for this as I can anticipate the response. That should say enough about how long I've been around here.

DP and I are both smokers, have been since we met a few years ago.

Yesterday after a heavy night and on a hangover DP decided unilaterally, with no discussion that he was giving up smoking. He then TOLD me I had to smoke outside from now on.

I fully support his desire to give up if that's what he wants. I'm not there right now, I have some other things I want to focus on first in terms of self improvement.

But again, this was completely out of the blue.

It is the coldest time of the year. I had no say. But in an attempt to assist I have been going out by the back door of a very small open plan house to try and help him.

Today I went to go out and it was raining, I said, I'm not going right out, it's raining. He said 'so go outside the front under the fucking porch then'. And that point I bit back and said 'so go get ready and go out for your fucking work meal then'. I did then go out the front.

He then got ready and stormed out telling me how horrible I was. I did try and apologise for being rude.

AIBU? I'm frustrated that I can't sit in front of my TV in my warm house and have a fag?

I understand him wanting to give up, but to be told I have to go outside with no discussion at the coldest time of the year is just fucking me off frankly.

Why on earth would he need your permission to give up smoking?

YABVVU.

I didn’t mean to resurrect anything sorry. 😬 I haven’t been on here in years so just trying to find my way around

I just typed AIBU into the search bar and this came up. Where do I find that section? Thanks 😊

Use it as an opportunity to stop your house smelling like an ashtray.

That ship has sailed.... two adults smoking in a house will have made it smell like an ashtry already and it will continue to smell like an ashtray until it is deep cleaned and all curtains and carpets are either deep cleaned or replaced.

Well done to OP's partner for giving up such a filthy and antisocial habit.
