To vape when my partner doesn't like it

[ThisNiftyMintCat]

I got addicted to vaping and have been hiding it from my partner because he is condescending about it (not abusive) AIBU to keep vapjng and hide it?

Why are you asking anyone here if YABU, when you’ve stated you are addicted?

If you’re addicted, then you’ll vape. Anyway.

If you’re addicted and want to change; there are resources online and on NHS available.

well it's unhealthy, that aside, if it's something your partner doesn't like split up because lying in a relationship is wrong.
vape away alone or with someone else if that's what you want.

If you want to vape, you need to break up with your partner. Lying is not ok.

There is nothing wrong with your partner being, in your words, condescending, about vaping. Many people would consider it a deal breaker in terms of partner selection.

somewhere out there is someone who shares your habit so won’t mind that you indulge. Just remember that if in the future you want to quit or want to limit exposure to any children you might have, that partner might not feel the same way as you.

Surely he will be able to smell that you have been vaping

Would you want him to hide any addiction he may have?

It doesn’t really matter whether anyone here thinks you’re being unreasonable though, does it? It only matters whether he’ll find it a deal breaker that you’ve lied to him about having stopped. Is vaping really worth damaging his trust in you?

How does he not know?

Err this. Everyone I know who has switched to vaping, vapes non-stop. They vape more than they ever smoked. And they appear to think ‘no smoking’ restrictions apply.

The constant, fruity smell is 🤢

Do you want to stop?

You are vaping and also lying.
If you wish to keep going out with him, give it up with assistance and stop lying.

If you wish to keep vaping, break up with him and look for a boyfriend who vapes.

You should want to give up for yourself not him, it's bad for you.

Very black and white comments on here OP! Sometimes there are grey areas in life.
If you vape, you vape, maybe don't do it so much, do it subtly, away from him, see how it goes....

Don't do it in front of him if he hates it, but also don't lie about it. It's reasonable that you want to vape. It's also reasonable that he doesn't like it.

Lies in relationships rarely go well.
