Oh how I can relate!! My hubby and I quit together. It was his idea. I just went along with it, for him. But that quickly changed. I grew into my quit. I accepted and embraced it, and now, here I am. My hubby unfortunately, did not make it past 3 weeks before he put Nic back into his body.
Now, he can't find his willpower to kick him out again. He will, but on his own time.
I found out the hard way how resentful I became. I posted here because I didn't realize how harmful my feelings could be. I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that I am inside this house catering to my 2 young kids, after a hard long day, and he is outside, in the garage with our neighbors, drinking beer and smoking, and socializing. I wish he could spend time with us inside. But he can't. When I smoked, I was outside with him as well. But now, I can only manage a few minutes outside with them, and I come back in. But I still get upset that I am still working by myself and he is outside having a good time......................
Anyhow, I have to stop thinking that way.
Each persons quit is his own. You have to own your own quit. Stand firm in your quit, and let your quit be an inspiration to your hubby. Show him that you CAN do it. And remember how damanging smoking is to your body. Know that you will be changing that. You will be taking back your life. Just making the commitment on July 5th is a step. And that is how we all got here. One step at a time. One foot in front of the other.
