Is it me or this a bit wtf?

[MaidenMotherCrone]

Fully prepared to be told Iabu but I'm a bit no, actually I'm a lot .

DP and I have a lovely relationship, no problems at all etc. I've given up smoking, it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow and it's going well so far. As with everything I do DP is very supportive. I was the only smoker in the house.

Anyways, today we both happened to have a day off, I had things I wanted to get on with and DP went out for a few hours. When he came home he started telling me about some bits and pieces he'd bought while he was out and then he pulls out a bloody pipe. A Sherlock Holmes feckin pipe.
He then popped into the garden and proceeded to smoke the bastard thing. Ffs sake.

Now, I'm as easy going and laid back as your average Pagan hippy but is it me or is that a) a feckin bizarre thing to take up and b) bloody insensitive given I'm trying my hardest to quit a stupid addiction which he has always worried about regarding my health.

AIBU or has he lost the bloody plot?

Is the pic showing?

Not on my iPad!

Nor on my laptop.

is this him? he does have a beard.

Oh. That's a pipe WRENCH Sorry. Couldn't resist.

You may bop him over the head with a pipe wrench if he continues the pipe smoking business. Very unsupportive.

^but I have been known to follow men smoking delicious smelling pipes^

It's really hard to smoke a pipe. Well it was for me anyway.

I'd want to know why he has suddenly taken up smoking a pipe. Didn't think anyone smoked a pipe these days except in historical dramas. And presumably he's not thinking of auditioning for one of them

Aww, I always go a bit warm and fuzzy inside when I see a bloke smoking a pipe. Probably because it reminds me of my granddad, who smoked one.

I wonder if he's consciously or unconsciously missing the passive inhalation

Perhaps he thinks tobacco isn't addictive if it's in a pipe, he's wrong of course.

Totally stupid, and quite undermining of your quit attempt.

Sure it isn't an e-pipe thing with e-liquid in, they make a lot of puffing smoke but it could be 0% nicotine?

It would be very ill advised for him to start either e-liquid with nicotine/tobacco again now, unless he wants to end up back with his habit.

It's definitely a proper pipe and I doubt he's missing the second hand smoke as I've only ever smoked outside alone.
I've asked him about the nicotine content and it's proper pipe smoking stuff. Argh.. I just hope it's a faddy thing that'll pass shortly.

If he also bought a deerstalker and a violin you should search for cocaine.

Drill a hole in it.

Definitely a bit wtf.

And it will make his lovely viking beard stinky.

Tell him that.

Baffling (but funny, sorry OP).

I wonder what thought processes he went through on this one?!

Viking with a pipe - lol!!!

The game's afoot.

Oh OP I don't mean to laugh but I was struggling to contain myself reading your post, now I've seen the offending pipe I am in stitches!

Wtf?! Is he actually sherlock holmes?? Lmao.

Get him to take it to a lads night at the pub, the torrent of mocking he's sure to receive will soon see it stashed in the back of the wardrobe

@RubaDubMum89 if I thought it'd make an ounce of difference I would get him to go to the pub with it but I know it wouldn't. He quite happily strode around Tesco with it in his mouth. He looks like a salty sea dog

viking pipe

OP, buy yourself a tin of snuff, when he gets his pipe out, he'll have a bigger shock than you did. 😂

Absolutely tin of snuff or rag infused with gin to inhale.

Are you sure he really did quit smoking? If you were the only smoker in the house, he may be on the verge of being "exposed" as your sense of smell comes back. Suddenly you may realise that the waft of fags is in fact coming from him, not you since you stopped?

I reckon he's been sneaking your fags and had to think of a back up

Do you think he bought it to test your willpower?

Was just thinking the same meself Cornetto....

I don't think you were the only smoker in the house...

But he's being absolutely out of order smoking anything when he knows that you've just quit.
