So my Fiances friend is over and is about to step outside for a smoke when I say"when are you going to quit smoking again?". Totally legit question because last month he came over with a patch on because he really wanted to quit. He makes some snide remark about how ironic it is for me to say that as I am sitting on the couch in pain from my 16k run yesterday... Illuding to how being healthy can also be bad for you. ???????????? I'm eating well, exercising a minimum of 4x per week for the past year, found something that I love, I set race goals AND achieve them. I am in the best "head space" I have been in in years. He is currently spending his 8th hour in a row sitting on his *kitten* playing video gAmes and drinking beer...... I really just want to smack him up the side of his head.

    He probably was snidy back as he's tried and failed to quit smoking and you've hit a raw nerve over that failure. Give the guy a break!

    Your pain is GAIN. His "pain" is lame. And his snapping at you is him projecting the fact that he knows that. ;)

    ROCK ON with the running!

    That was just his response to you spotlighting something that he perceives as a bad thing. People aren't defensive when they know they are doing something right.
  • You just hit a sore spot for him - probably his struggle, and he's having enough problems with it, comments like that from other people don't help. He probably perceived your comment as being snide rather than helpful.
