A Question Of Responsibility

Tweet

Imagine you're married to a smoker who tells you his vices (cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, whatever!) are not your responsibility. Imagine for a second, that out of the goodness of your heart, you offer to pick up a pack of smokes for someone because you're going to the store anyway. Being a human, you FORGET to get the smokes. You don't forget things that often, but once in a while something slips your mind. You come home, remember that you forgot the smokes, and your loving hubby says it's OK, that he has enough for tomorrow. Later in the evening, that same hubby runs up the street to pick up a couple of subs at Quiznos. Upon arriving home, he realizes he lost the cigarettes, but tells you it's not your problem. Fast forward to just before bed when Hubby wants a smoke, and starts b!tching (no, not just complaining, but b!tching!!!) at you because none of this would have happened if YOU hadn't forgotten the smokes. That's EXACTLY what happened here tonight. I told him that none of this would have happened if he had not LOST the cigarettes, and with all due respect, we would not be in this mess if he didn't start smoking PERIOD. OK I didn't say that last part, but you can bet I was thinking it. He's very good about paying me back for every single pack of cigarettes, but like all humans, I do forget things. So I forgot to pick up a pack of cigarettes. It happens sometimes. Atleast I've never lost the same pair of glasses three times in one week. But to b!tch about the cigarettes like this, and make it my responsibility that he doesn't have any, after he lost a pack? I think I'm going to take him literally, and refuse to be responsible for cigarettes PERIOD! What do you think? :) That means no more cigarettes until February 1st when he gets paid, and he can get them himself!!!
