Hug
awww hell that sounds really difficult. My partner had a stroke a few years ago and he gave up smoking. He didnt ask me to give up and I asked him how do you stand it when I smoke in front of you and he said that he was so scared of having another stroke that it didnt matter who smoked in front of him. I was thinking gawd you have to scared to death to not mind. Its a shocking addiction. All the women in my family smoke and I cant stand seeing them smoke. Could you ask your girlfriend not to smoke in front of you>? She could go outside and smoke and if you are outside she could go inside and smoke. I really dont know what to tell you. I have been nearly 8 months smokefree and I still want a cigarette. Thats the nature of the addiction I suppose. I hope you can find some way to quit, but dont beat yourself up about it

Close Breakups & Divorce
Was with my spouse for 12 years, married for 6. Loved her dearly, but over the years the relationship fell apart. No chemistry, no desire to fix what was broken. We became friends, not husband and wife. Left relationship and have struggled since. Tried to work things out (twice), but our problems were always stil there. We have both moved on, but something inside me still misses her. She was a wonderful person.
