But he smokes too? 

We've been on and off for 6 years. On again for over a year now and it's pretty darn good. However, he hates that I smoke. I never gave it much thought in the past and continued smoking about a pack a day. However, the last year we've been together, I've begun really giving quitting some effort. He gives me hell about it. At first I really took it to heart and I quit last summer. Then began smoking again slowly after over a month. He wasn't so bad after that quit attempt other than an occasional comment. Then after Christmas it really got obnoxious with comments constantly. Recently it got really overwhelming with things like," One of the number one reasons relationships fail is when one partner smokes and the other doesn't."

I don't believe that, but fine. So I started giving some serious effort to quit again which ended up in some meltdowns from me. A lot more comments about how lots of people quit smoking and don't make a big deal out of it. I make his life heinous when I'm quitting smoking. I felt giant  pressure on me constantly. 

So I made it through 3 weeks and it was not nearly as easy as last time. I caved. (not that last time was by any means easy) It's no excuse but one of MY BIGGEST issues is that he smokes. Not a lot but a few a day and chain smoking sessions when drinking throughout the month. He smoked in front of me when I was quitting and trying to stay strong through hanging out with all of his smoker friends. 

I have tried to talk to him about this and how I feel about it. It does not work. I understand he doesn't want to smell it on me and is concerned about my health, etc, but this is just a hard situation to be in. I want to quit, but it's also very difficult to be around those smoking situations in the early days. (That he wants me there for so badly) For some reason it also just really bothers me when he's smoking in front of me after all the bitching about my bad habit.
<bot>: Boyfriend hates that I smoke. Tried to quit multiple times and having a hard time with it. He's a social smoker and sometimes chain smoker too.
