Very interesting...
So today, I was super upset - mostly out of exhaustion - and caved and asked Mike for a cigarette. He said "Oh. I'm out, I'm sorry." And I asked how long he had been out (feeling guilty for not being here to get him cigarettes when he was sick - no, I don't think smokers should have to do without their addiction when they are miserable and not trying to quit) and he said he couldn't remember.
Since then, Mike has gone to my parents' house to pick up the rest of our stuff...now, the first thing Mike usually does if he goes out is to go buy cigarettes. So I figured that since I was still pretty stressed tonight, I'd have one and just get the craving out of me...but there are no cigarettes in Mike's coat pockets. And then I realized - I still have his lighter from about noon today.
I think he is trying to quit without telling me. It's just one of those things I think he wanted to do without me asking him to - it makes it his thing. But anyway. Here is hoping.
