Question:

Drowsy chain smoker burns everything - help plez?

Care giving for my mother with cancer. She smokes her head off and anything near her cigarette ends up with big burn holes; Her blanket melts, is there a material that can be used as a blanket that is less likely to cause harm. I was thinking a lead blanket but it’s not comfortable.

Answer:

I've seen ridiculous behavior like this before. I won't get into where or anything, but I'm sorry to tell you it probably won't change. Guys like that can be immature just stay that way. Usually when you try to talk to him about it, he'll either say you're over-sensitive or just trying to start a fight. Or both. My advice to save yourself the time energy or getting overly upset trying hard to fix something that you can't fix is to learn to not pay attention to it. You need to find something else to worry about. I'm sure everyone says that, but if you can throw yourself into work or parenting or friends, anything but worrying about his behavior, he'll probably try to improve his behavior because he'll see you are sick of his problems.
sounds like a really tough situation. To me it sounds like he is stressed about something unrelated to you. Guys are not really up to talking about their feelings so getting it out of him could cause more problems. I would just put my best face foward he will confide in you. Just tell him your here when he wants to talk. The Love Dare (every couple should give it a try.)
Something is up, he has the problem not you. Usually when men feel that way they are unhappy in their marriage. Tried therapy? Wait a few days, let him start the conversation. Try your best to look good for him. Remember let him start the conversation but make him want you. ;0
get blood pressure checked at once. If you have the worst headache I've ever had in my life go to E.R.
Pregnancy hormones can make us get overly upset. I'm sure that he was irrational - my husband has been that way at times and I think a lot of men can be that way. I've learned to just ignore it and he gets over his hissy fit. Your husband may be having some weird feelings too - pregnancy and the introduction of a child into a marriage is difficult on both people even if you don't realize it. I've learned through both of my pregnancies to not weigh too much on behaviors that I perceive or abnormal behaviors from him until after the baby's born and things start to settle down.
