Not everyone has a connection that will support expanding the number of posts shown at a time and loading the page can take an interminably long time.

It can be very hard for someone that is doing something that they know has negative effects on them to watch the person that they love changing themselves in what appears a positive way. You may want to consider this... if you change like this, what's next? Perhaps you might find someone else? Sometimes it is simply self-preservation that makes us do crazy things. Consider this: You partner suddenly begins losing weight with no apparent reason other than 'I want to look better'. Seems harmless at face value but to a partner that may deal with insecurity issues, this could be a sign that the partner is looking for someone new. I know it sounds crazy, but I've seen it happen, many, many times. Reassure her that you love her. Make sure that she understands that there is no pressure for her to change. Make sure you vape with her while she smokes and be careful not to make her feel bad that she is doing it. In time, she may or may not make the decision you did. Just my two cents, take it for what it is. Good luck and have fun!

People in relationships, particularity married relationships can figure out really weird ways to coexist and put up with each others faults that the outside world would never understand. One time around when World of Warcraft came out, I played it all the time. My wife would came into my home office and say "Why are you dressed like an overweight peterpan?" I said "I'm a vicious Rouge Blood Elf!" She said "Blood elf's shirt don't cover their bellies? When are you going to shower? And when are you going to sleep?" Ah, she's a mouthy scamp!

A about a month later of playing it every hour I wasn't working, I told I was talking my two week vacation from work in Azeroth!" So she took away my hard drive and foam sword and told me we were going to Hawaii like we planned. I was ....... Really ....... She wouldn't give me back my stuff until we got back from Maui. I passive aggressively wore my Blood Elf costume the whole time until she asked house keeping to wash it and never return it. I was ...... again! Really .......

But I waited, for 6 months until Thanksgiving. Instead of enjoying our usual Thanksgiving morning breakfast of eggs and bacon, I had copious amounts of Chili and Laxatives. Cut to 6 hours later when her entire extended family was over and everyone sat down to Thanksgiving dinner, I excused myself and shyte all over the living room and hung up a banner that said "This is for taking my hard drive and elf sword. Happy Thanksgiving" She never took my hard drive again.

That's the best laugh I've had all week......

why do married or even engaged people think it makes them the other persons mommy or daddy or boss???
I don't think I could live with someone who didn't respect my things, my privacy or my right to be an individual! :(

It's not marriage or engagement that is the cause. The person with the erratic behavior is at fault here. There are just as many crazy, selfish single people out there as there are married/in a relationship folks.

And then some of us should thank the OP for a reminder of how good we have it. Some of us have total support in our relationships because we aren't killing ourselves anymore, smell better and even if they didn't smoke and don't vape share the enjoyment in our new hobby simply because it makes us happy

i own my own home, totally debt free (cept a car payment i choose to have to rebuild credit), im hitting 6 figure mark in income, and could go buy a bmw in cash if i wanted.

But are you gentle, loving, kind, humble and generous? ;)

I think you do a great injustice to yourself here, because you have defined yourself in this post in terms of what you own, what you make, etc.

Stuff I would want my accountant to know ----- but not anything I consider "important" when looking for the love of my life. :)

This is why describing ourselves on forums often leaves much to be desired. Ditto for the OP, describing a "situation" that happened.......we can't really go on "a day in the life of......" adn i SURE WOULDN'T WANT TO judge anyone on that anyway?

You've been spending too much time on your vape gear/habbit/rebuilding.

She just NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION / LOVE / HUG.

Let it go. Love her, cherish her, assure her that she comes first before your vape gear.

"Honey, I can get new gear. But I never ever want to lose you. (tears in eyes). You come first before my vape gear. But please don't do that again. It hurts me. "

One stone, two birds. You strengthen your relationship and she'll never ever do that again. Guaranteed.............. hopefully

Seems to me that the OP had it right way back, when he said he was going to wait for clearer heads. People do dumb stuff, even (especially?) to those they love the most. Sometimes it takes a little while to be sorry, and frequently it takes a while longer to work up the courage to say sorry. Jealous of the vaping? sure. Wrong to throw it out? sure. Deserving of police action, assault or divorce? not so sure. It is just stuff.... replace the stuff, make up & move on.
