When Smoke Gets In Your Eyes


I have a friend who was dating a successful lawyer, and 1 of the reasons she left him is because he was such a heavy smoker. Which made me consider, if you were absolutely head over heels over a guy who smokes... what would you do? Would you take it or leave it?

The problem with additiction is, it's beyond the control of the guy. Just like how women who are addicted to shopping, they could never live without their credit cards. So, where do you draw the line in order to meet in the middle? Honestly, I don't think that can ever happen. As it is, no matter how hard you try, you can never tell a guy what to do.

So... what happens now? Hmmm.... on this point, Pumpkin has no final conclusion to it. I suppose, couples faced with this phenomena just needs to either live with it or live without it. If I was faced with such situations, I would just ask myself "so, what's in it for me?". If he has to take time off from dinner or coffee to have a smoke... at the expense of my time with him, hmm... no way! I'll prefer to smoke it out. But later on... who knows. The smoke might get in my eyes after all, because when love is fresh, it makes you blind. When the love matures... tendency of seeing the bad habits of your partner clearly is more highly likely.

Cirnelle's got no credit cards because Cirnelle is a sobered up ex-shopaholic whose first act of repentence was to cut up all of Cirnelle's cards.

Cirnelle is now two years credit card debt free and will be a mountain to climb for bankers wanting to sell credit cards. Cirnelle is very good at hanging up such cold calls before the sales is even introduced.
