Starting to quit when my partner won't....

I am desperate to quit smoking! I turned 38 yesterday which marks nearly 30 years of self harming with cigarettes. My husband however has no desire to quit and no matter how much the price rises and it becomes obvious the tolls smoking is taking on our health, wealth and family he still is determined he just can't quit and won't speak about it.

I have tried in the past and he seems to be offended that I'm not sitting with him outside when he goes for a smoke and he gets really annoying to the point I just give in to keep the peace.

We have 7 kids from 7 - 22years olds and I would like to see them all grow up and be here to support them. I also hate the fact that they are being desensitised to the dangers of smoking and are just seeing it as something that mum and dad do so it must be anything really bad.

I have decided to use a slow down method to quit more for my husband to wean him off needing the company for every smoke and I deep down hope that it may limit his also if he doesn't want to be alone.

I'm sure other people understand what I'm describing, but I needed my rant to let out the frustrations that make a hard task nearly impossible as I feel like I'm tied to smoking in more ways than one....wish me luck ;)
