I’m not sure I can sit by and do nothing while this man continually ogles teen girls.
I sympathize with everything you’ve said, including your wish not to be a caretaker for your husband after a life spent caring for others. And I’m sorry your new husband is being so defensive: he did make a promise, after all. But quitting smoking is hard. That doesn’t mean he shouldn’t keep trying, of course. Especially if he wants you to stick around.
Women tend to outlive their husbands, and when you get married at your age—which is also my age, by the way—the possibility that you will be caring for a sick husband at the last stage of your life cannot be discounted. While it’s true that if he continues to smoke, there’s an excellent chance that this will happen sooner rather than later , marriage means, among other things, the commitment to take care of the person one marries if they fall ill.
