I’ve never been a heavy smoker - maybe two a day or a few puffs in the evening. I gave up as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Haven't smoked in eight months.
We’re facing homelessness. We’re on the housing list - silver band with additional preference but this will change two weeks before our contract is up.
Anyway, husband has no solutions. Says I’m selfish for suggesting we stay put if nothing comes us. Says I'm living in a fantasy world if I expect the council or H/A to home us. Doesn’t want a flat. Just being negative and moody with me. I lost it tonight, cried and said I wanted a cigarette. Just one or a few puffs because I'm so stressed. He went ballistic. Said I’m “absolutely not smoking“ and I might as well blow smoke in our 3-year-old’s face while I'm at it. I said I only wanted a few puffs because I feel so wound up and ultimately it’s my choice... He said, “what about our baby? He doesn't have a choice“. Said he couldn’t believe I was crying and wanting to smoke because I can’t handle a bit of stress. No attempt to comfort me at the time but did try and hug me half hour later.
He’s also told me off for drinking coffee (no more than two a day) in front of my mother. It didn’t go well for him.
AIBU for wanting one cigarette?
