dh just stomped off as I finally told dh to stop yelling at me and the kids as he chose to smoke and he had to live with the consequences of withdrawal. My patience has run out, he has tried to stop smoking for the past 2 years and achieves short periods of time, usually a few days, then sneaks them at work then just starts smoking outside the house again. I support him 100% in quitting but have had it with his behavior when he quits.He usually chooses the weekend or a holiday, holes up in a room and only comes out to complain or yell at me or the kids. If I say a word, he threatens to start smoking or says it is my fault if he starts up as I am making him mad and not supporting him. He can get quite nasty and becomes hyper critical about everything (usually my parenting is a prime topic). I try hard to keep my mouth shut but think this is enough. It is easter weekend, he took the computer and tv to the bedroom,spent all day there while we played in the living room. We joine dhim after supper and he yelled at us the whole time and finally I told him to stop yelling and he went nuts, threw the computer, said he was going to buy smokes, it was all my fault and I should not pick a fight with him when he is trying to quit. I said it was his choice if he smoked or not but I wasn't putting up with the yelling or threats. HE stormed off to another bedroom and we haven't seen him sense. It is very peaceful right not but he really upset the kids by his outburst. Anyone else lived with a nicotine deprived lunatic? How do I handle this? Should I have put up and shut up yet again.
