LOL, hope your staying smoke free through all that! men act a bit different than women when sick. there is nothing wrong with you, even if your temper is short from nicotine withdraw.
if he feels that bad you could tell him to call the doc and ask what to do, but if its a cold, they will tell him to just take some over counter stuff.
hope you have something for the pain.
hoping you both feel better soon. hugs,

Oh my Jasmine. thats sounds like a lot of challenges to do all at once. Screw loose??? Doubt it. Sickness and Illnesses do make us cranky. Especially when we both think we are suffering the most. Also sounds like Mr nicodemon is looking for a foothold in the door. You may not see it coming but it will bite your bum quickly. Take heart and a big step back and breathe each time you think you have it worse than him or he has it worse than you. It is so hard to be understanding and forgiving when you both dont feel good. Myabe you both could take turns taking care of each other if you can come to that kind of agreement. Huggs

I am truly sorry for your pain, both physical and emotional.
this is only my humble opinion but I think you need to make a choice, your health or his. It's sorta clear that he puts a premium on his issues when you clearly need some help with your health. You do NOT have a screw loose, you have nicotine a addiction and want to overcome it. That tells me you are pretty smart! I don't know how much I can help you with your relationship stuff but I can tell you...Quitting smoking will give you self esteem big time! It's not easy but you can quit just for you and the benefits begin right away....including setting an example for your smoking family and smelling like the rose that you are!

So sorry for the turmoil in your life. His cold couldn't have come at a worse time for you. At this stage, our emotions are on a massive Roller Coaster. You will find you don't handle life's bumps as you have in the past. We go from 0 to boiling in .02 seconds. We can't always have a handle on things. And yes, men are just total babies when a sniffly happens. Try to baby him, while letting him know that pay back is a Bi**h. Keep strong and take little breaths. We got your back

Thanks all. I am still smoke free but have to admit to using an e cig. I will not smoke but the pain I am having is really bad. It felt good to get that off my chest and I apologize for the rant. After today I am pretty confident that my smoking days are over.
Hugggss Jasmine

Had a tough time a little while ago--argument with my son. Anger is a HUGE trigger for me. Took some deep breathes & also received a text of encouragement just as I was passing the store and contemplating buying a pack. "Don't smoke--no matter what." Profound words that I believe truly saved me in that moment! Wow, support truly does work!

Sorry I am a bit late.....but I have to say....you both (lag and jasmine) handled it beautifully :)
This shows you are both strong and determined. Give yourself a pat on the back and hold your heads high...you done good!

Jasmine ~ I look around and it amazes me what people will put up with in order to keep others happy and stay in relationships. I'm not saying to dump them, but stand up for yourself. I know it is hard to do, but I too had to learn the hard way, but I started loving myself and learned boundaries which came with a lot of "no's" to those that needed it for both our sakes. I lost a few peeps along the ways, but the ones that are still beside me are the ones I really want....they stood beside me through thick and thin....through all my icky faults and tears. I'm no longer on "mark down".....I keep Helen Reddy's song, "I am Woman" handy for those times I really need a pick-me-up and reminder.
I'm so glad you kept your quit through it all. I'm glad you decided to take care of you....WTG!!! The Siatica nerve is nothing to play around with and is very painful and lasting (unlike a common cold that will go away within a week). Sending you healing vibes and lots of love ((((((((((((gentle hugs)))))))))))))

Congratulations Jasmine, you made it through today and you are Human,. Yes, I almost bit everyone's head off when I quit the first time. I had no control, I was just a walking time bomb. But, my true friends and loved ones stayed patient through it. You have to come first right now, so sorry your loved one has a cold. It is bad timing but you are number 1 right now until you are safe with your quit. Buy him something that will make him sleep for hours so you can get your time back . Gentle Hugs,
jazzy

Thanks all. Jazzkeys you are too funny bur when I went to get the med for him I looked for one that would make him drowsy. Lol
Great minds think alike. I had no intention of going back to smoking which is why I got an e cig. Not the best answer but no cigarette was the key.
