So the idea, when your husband is trying to quit vaping, don't have a serious conversation with them...about anything. Or maybe, try and limit conversation with them entirely unless you want to fast track your relationship to non-relationship status. My husband was so cross at me, at life, at the world I think I just got in the way. Lockdown is a bit of a downer sometimes. He was fuming that he thought I was not supporting him enough (even though I'd committed to a month of non sweeties to coincide with the no vaping). I didn't really know what to do or which way to jump. I was so angry at the vaping by then and exhausted by the impact of withdrawal that I found myself stuffing my face and literally hoovering up Hariboo's (my daughters sweet stash from Halloween). So bad mom! I'm just hoping that she's too young to remember that she even had this treasure trove that was now deeply in my stomach.
The moral of the story is: if your partner is quitting vaping / smoking or nicotine or sugar or anything...the month is all about them until they are better equipped to handle the situation.
And I have continued to write Not According to Plan. It felt apt considering everything going on (and it's national novel writing month).
I'm not updating it yet. I'm just doing word count from this side of the desk. The word count pleasingly is growing so...watch this space.
