Spousal Approval

[Shelby07]

I'm still trying to decide what to spend the $500 that Pauline is giving me to spend on cigars for Xmas. ...'nuff said.

Except that maybe Godfather has some suggestions. He seems to be really obsessed with this lately.

My wife is great about it. As long as I stay within my budget and don't smoke in the house, everything is cool. Sometimes she gives me this when I start raving about some new stick that I just got, but she listens and nods and throws in the appropriate amount of "uh-huh's" to show she is making an effort.....kinda like I do when she's talking clothes, or shoes, or candles.....smiley2:

I just can't smoke in the house (Even in the basement. It works it's way up through the cracks.), or spend a huge amount on cigars. She also doesn't want me smoking every day or neglecting things to smoke. Reasonable requests in this day and age. Although I never realized how much time I DON'T have until we had the baby.

I get about three cigars a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Mostly on the weekends.

My wife got me into smoking seriously by getting me some quality cigars for a gift... so, needless to say, she's pretty cool about it. She does worry about me smoking too much, she's convinced I'm going to get cancer. But as long as I limit it to one or two a week she's okay. When she gets on my case I try to remind myself that it's only because she wants me around for a while, but it's still annoying.

Whenever I smoke (which is always outside) she'll usually come outside to talk and take a puff of the cigar. She hates it and always makes a nasty face, but it doesn't stop her from trying the next cigar I smoke.
