my partner gave up smoking and was using NRT to cope. He was doing really well apart from a few slip ups. He lasted for about 6/7 weeks but slowly he has stopped using the patches and started smoking heavily again. I am finding this very hard to deal with. I am a non-smoker and really fear for his health. We have had arguments and I have even walked out over it a few times. He say's i'm being irrational as he smoked when i met him and i was fine with it then. His other excuse is he is stressed, but he has nothing going on in his life to stress him out more than normal. I really can't accept it, i'm finding it really hard to let him smoke and i feel like he doesn't care about how i feel about it. i am just dismissed because 'it never used to be a problem' in his words. But i have always said i hated smoking and said that i wouldn't have babies with a smoker. They would have to commit to us and give up for the sake of their health (although i am not pregnant at the moment). So it shouldn't be that surprising to him surely? I just don't know where to go from here...i'm really unhappy but he thinks i should just accept it and move on.
