Another Brit

My wife has developed a slight cough too but says she not too bothered at the minute. The only thing she`s slightly aware of is the stale smell first thing in the morning....AND my slight obsession with looking for pipe shops in the surrounding area.
Happy to have you here, friend!

Welcome. I'm also new to the forum from South Africa. At first, my wife was not too keen on the idea of me smoking pipes but not long afterwards she got used to it. You will notice that once your wife accepts your pipe smoking, pipe smoking becomes much better. I'm not allowed to smoke inside the house but have my designated spot on the stoep where I smoke mostly in the evenings and occasionally during the morning when I'm not at work. All the best with your new ventures in pipe smoking.
"Stoep" is an Afrikaans word for a porch.

Thank you for all the kind words and advice.
My wife and I went on a walk today and I had half hoped she might have invited me to bring my pipe. But no. Too soon.
My head is in a much better place after a bowl and maybe that will become obvious to her. Never in the house. Never in public, likely to remain the rule however.

Give it some time, soon you'll be laughing about it. My wife started to realise that once I smoked a bowl after a tough day my head was in a better place. Lately after a tough day she will encourage me to have a bowl. Hmmm, lately I'm having a lot of these "tough" days
Welcome from Michigan! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the journey so far. Don't fret about your wife too much; miracles do happen. Mine asked me last year to quit as soon as possible but recently has told me that she’s happy if I want to be a lifelong pipe smoker.
