36 weeks & my husband won’t quit vaping
FTM (F 28). I need to vent. Advice (kind, please!!!!) welcome.
Please be kind. I’ve avoided researching the effects of secondhand nicotine vape smoke, but for whatever reason, I did today. I’m mortified and mad at myself for being so ignorant.
My husband (M 32) has smoked since we met. Weed at first, then about a year ago he switched to nicotine vapes. It’s All. The. Time. In the car, on the couch, in our bed. It’s literally the first thing he does when he wakes up and the last thing he does at night. Sometimes it feels like he’s taking a puff every 45 seconds.
When I found out I was pregnant, I told him he would have to quit, and that he couldn’t be vaping around the baby. He would always say, “ok, I know” blah blah blah. He’d kinda brush me off and say whatever so I’d shut up about it.
I am now 36 weeks/9 months pregnant and he has made exactly ZERO effort to quit or even reduce his vaping.
Like I said, I am mortified at what harm this has likely been doing to our unborn baby, but I can’t change the past.
I don’t know how to proceed. I don’t know how to talk to him so he gets it through his thick head. It’s full-blown addiction to the worst degree. I love him so much and he does so much to take care of me. But whenever I bring it up, he gets annoyed and brushes me off.
What would you do here??
