The Better Half

[AndriaD]

He really does seem like and 'ideal' husband. Sleep well and dream...dream...dream.

Hmmm... ideal? Not by a long shot. But he's so tolerant of ME, it makes up for a host of his deficiencies. And he says that about me, too. We scream and yell all the time, it drives my mom crazy, but we get over it quickly, like it never happened.

It just seems 'fishy' to me.

What's the reaction, attitude or opinion of your significant other towards your vaping and when you come home with something new?

My better half just chuckles when I talk about my new "whatzamagiggit" or what wacky new flavor I whipped up in my "vape cave". She's glad I'm no longer smoking and that I'm actually buying something for MYSELF. Although, I still ship about everything to my office, and it goes straight to the "vape cave" when I walk in the door However, my buying frenzy has subsided, and I really don't see the need to buy anything until it's time for more nic or PG or VG....

Better half? I am the better half of the whole. Have you met me? I'm fantastic wrapped in awesome topped with heaping helping of ethereal delight! She's damn lucky to have me and she knows. Hell, even strangers know it. When they pass us on the street, people will say "You are married to him? Good for you!" Any ways, she doesn't say anything. Has no interest in what I buy. Or much interest in me for that matter which is odd, give my previous description of myself.

^^^ You are AWESOME. I just giggle whenever I read your posts.... Thanks for making me smile this evening!

I've been with my better half for just over four years now. I can count on one hand the number of times we've raised our voices at each other, but we've certainly gotten mad/frustrated with the other. We just are blessed to be able to discuss it, acknowledge the other's feelings and try to learn from the situation. I don't like fighting, but after previous relationships, I'm learning that my feelings are legitimate and I'm allowed to stand up for them. So we just try to figure each other out and not go to bed mad.

Then, I load up a vape and fill the living room with as much cloud as possible (with whatever latest whattamagiggit I'm using!)

My wife and I started vaping at roughly the same time; she fell off the wagon when she was staying with her family back home and I wasn't around to fix her gear for her, but then she started vaping right away after she got back. I get to vape in the house, which is nice. we never smoked inside. My oldest kid is happy that we stopped smoking because that means no random cigarette breaks during play time (he's 4).

We had been together as a cohabitating couple for over a year before we had our first spat -- the spat really only due to my bonkers hormones (I was pregnant!) and the imminent arrival of that crap known as Real Life. All our friends were completely amazed, not sure they really believed it, except they had never seen us argue about anything, because we never did -- we were so completely in-sync it was like we were male and female halves of the same being. and that's still true, but you know, Real Life...

He's amazed right now because he deposited $80 in the bank today, and I haven't ordered anything... (yet!).

We're getting uncomfortably close to 41 years now and I am suspicious of "marital bliss."

She does seems to like the vaping though over the cigarettes.

(She quit about 30 years ago.)

Although I admirably never smoked in the house (BS) she only quit when I commented that breast-feeding (and smoking) the baby before leaving the house to go to her job as a primary-school teacher was perhaps non de rigeur.

She was lovely though.

What did we know then?

 

[Arenz]

She was just happy I quit smoking and dont come home from work stinking like an ashtray. She quit cold turkey 6 years ago and hounded me until I quit. I can vape freely around the house. She says it smells like incense but doesnt give me grief. She recently started vaping at night saying it cures her sweet tooth so she doesnt snack all night. I set her with up with my old e-gos and kanger minis. She likes 0 nic dessert and fruit flavors so I always grab her a new flavor to try when I get my juice.

Your Avatar doesn't do you justice.

Well, now that I have a gaggle of ready to go mods, a handful of RDA`s with which to switch around with on the mods, and a Sig150 W/ two (Or three?) RTA`s,,,,,,,,,,,,
she`s starting to roll her eyes at me any time I show her the newest-bestest designed whatever, LOL.

My husband could care less whether I vape or smoke cigarettes, as long as I don't lecture him or try to convert him from his cigarettes. He has tried a puff or two off my setup but it makes him cough like crazy, so he would just rather stick with his smokes. He hasn't complained about how much I spend because he blows a whole lot more money than I do (woodworking tools, old military rifle collection/reloading ammo, new mud tires for his truck, etc). If he started fussing about what I spend on vaping, he knows that would start an argument he would never, ever win!

Does any husband ever "win" an argument?

In just over three weeks, my wife and I will have been married 17 years, and known each other for 19 years. We have never had an argument or a fight. We learned from watching others how not to conduct a relationship before we were ever in one together. Being married is the easiest thing we've ever done!

 

[LeftofCenter]

My husband and I started vaping at the same time. He doesn't complain about what I spend because I do all the research and as I upgrade he gets my hand-me-downs.

He is doing great and loves his vape as much as I do. Now if I could just get him to learn how to trouble shoot his own gear I will be a happy woman! No more late night calls when he is on the road for work just so I can help fix his gear please!

Only the kind of husband that no one would want anyway.

I'd argue that point, but I'm sure I wouldn't "win" that one. Duck!

The only kind of husband who always wins arguments are those who back up their arguments with physical force or emotional and financial abuse -- no one wants that kind of husband!

My apologies for the failed attempt at casual, humorous banter.

 

[Spidey2011]

Very simple I dont gripe about 10,000 paires of shoes and 5000 purses and she dose not gripe about vape equipment or guns

Same here, except with my fiance it's shoes and hoodies. I swear she has more hoodies than everyone else I know combined. Yet she still steals mine anytime we go somewhere... Lol

Well, my husband is one of those that likes to argue for sport...like any competitive sport, ya win some and ya lose some!
