When I'm having a bad day like today

Some days are just unbearable and I just need to write something down on paper or sometimes here just to get the thoughts out of my head. I'm worried about my asthma because my boyfriend smokes. I am in one room and him in another he has the window open and the air purifier on to reduce the smoke. It's difficult for him to smoke outdoors because he uses a wheelchair. I'm worried because I don't want us to have to live in seperate places because of my asthma. I never had problems with the smoke before it's just all started two weeks ago and I've had asthma for 30 years. Of which 4 of those we have been living together. I also used to smoke but I quit and was still ok with his smoking after I quit. I just don't get why now? It doesn't make sense unless it's a menopause thing. I developed hayfever during the summer too. The asthma nurse even tried to blame my cat and I've had her for years too, it's crazy!!. I'm worried I won't get better and I'll land up losing them both. I'm so anxious stressed and upset right now. So I'm putting this here to vent is all. Life just sucks and there are days that I've truly had enough of it.
That is so very difficult! You need to be able to breathe. Maybe you can encourage him to quit smoking, use those little nicotine salt patches instead. Something!! You breathing is obviously very important!

@nonsensiclesnail yes and it's not easy to get my point across because then he says I'm just thinking about me and he expected this to be his forever home. Which makes me feel bad. But this has to be about me coz like you said I need to breathe and he could always quit smoking.
@RubiesandButterflies he says you’re being selfish????
I… you know he knows. He is being a bit selfish……

You’re not being selfish.

@nonsensiclesnail yes well I've told him today that if this inhaler does not change things he has to smoke outside. He complained that I was trying to force him to give up but I told him thats not the case. He said it would be my fault if he got cold and ill smoking outside. But I stood my ground and said well what else can I do I need to be able to breathe and he shut up lol. Ive bought an air purifier for the bedroom where I sit for now. Its just having to hold my breath to go to the bathroom because the hall is smoky. I do wish he'd quit as he shouldn't be smoking because he has COPD from it aswell. Let's see if my new inhaler helps atal but I have my doubts it will.
