My Boyfriend Smokes Too Much
By jumanche
I met my boyfriend online. We were in a long distance relationship for a 2 months before I moved back to his town.
Before we met, he told me he smoked cigarettes but socially. I was ok with that. I thought that If he needed a cigar to calm his nerves , its alright. I do not smoke.
A
fter we met, It turns out that he's a chain smoker. He takes atleast 3 packsof cigarettes a day. After a month of dating him, I just couldn't take it anymore.
After we visit each other, I reek of cigarettes. My clothes, my purses, my hair, the bed-sheet. Everything stinks. Sometimes I have to re-do my laundry. He smokes inside the house and car so the smoke is directly on me .
I talked to him about this. I told him that the smoke stinks everywhere up so bad and that I have to wash my clothes after I visit him. He got really mad and we didnt talk for days.
I love my boyfriend but I cannot take the smoking. Its also starting to affect him medically , his teeth is rotten and he coughs chronically. I tell him to stop at least for his health and he starts to give examples of non-smokers who died early or smokers who live long.
I am at my wits end because everything and everywhere stink and cigarette butts are everywhere.
How do I tell him to stop?? Or do you think its time to end the relationship?
