Sometimes it's so hurtful!

I realize I've been somewhat "high maintenance" lately with being sick, having to go to the dr alot, going through menopause and quit smoking, putting on more weight than ever. It's not easy being me so why would the love of my life start treating me as if I'm his roommate instead of his wife? We've been married 12 yrs. I am 46, he just turned 40 last month. I swear if he's going through the "change" too it will be a free-for-all! I can't live in such a negative atmosphere and try to quit smoking, lose weight, work and keep from going insane when my husband HATES his job, HATES our house, HATES the town we live in and HATES his life. I just don't understand why nothing makes him happy. I CAN NOT, NEVER, NO HOW go back to smoking. I'm just afraid I'm losing the only man that ever made me happy at one time to a life of misery. Thanks for letting me unload. It's better than lighting up or grabbing something to eat.

Be gentle with yourself and your hubby! We all have choices and remember...you've made the choice to do something better for yourself. Hubby needs to make the choice to be happy too. So just give each other space. If you start worrying, you may find yourself becomeing weak towards that nasty little voice craving a cig.

Be strong. You've got friends here! I know it is not the same as the man you love...but you've got friends.

Is it possible you were only happy when you were under the influence of nicotine?  Been there done that.  Life is too short to be unhappy.  One day at a time and smoking will not change A SINGLE THING. Not One Puff Ever!

Hang in there sweetie. Channel your inner strength and protect your quit.  Pick a good time a have a chat with your hubby about the other things and what you can do to support him. Wishing you the best. Stay strong!
