To be really annoyed DH decided to give up smoking on Boxing Day

[churchmouse84]

Don't get me wrong, I really want him to give up. He's been smoking for the past year after not smoking for 10 years.

But giving up on Boxing Day was a really selfish and dickish move.

He's been vile. I was so looking forward to a relaxing few days off work to lounge about but it's been impossible.

He's snappy, restless and just generally vile. It would be fine if he just took himself off but I feel he wants us all to suffer with him.

And if I object to his horrid behaviour then I'm being unsupportive and it will be my fault if he starts again.

He's currently not speaking to me for reasons I have no idea about, but he was up at 6am clattering about so we all knew he was up but refusing to speak.

I'm so uptight, and now just really angry that my hard earned Christmas break is being ruined.

Addiction is an illness, breaking it is not easy, hence the need for support. Plus it's in everyone's interests if people do give up smoking, so if support is needed I wouldn't begrudge it.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who give up without being a dick to their partners

Oh, God, OP. I remember my DH giving up on New Year’s Day 13 years ago. After 24 hours I went and stayed with a friend for a week and let him sweat it out at home.

Oh god. My ex was always trying to give up and was such a knob when doing so I honestly felt like buying him a pack of fags. I was expected to take his shit because he was trying to quit but he was so vile.

No it’s just weak willed that like to be asses to everyone around them
