Men and Women give each other Brownie Points for doing something the other likes. Men's Brownie Points have a 'sell-by-date' of between a week and 2 weeks. If we don't use them up within the sell-by-date we loose them. Women's Brownie Points on the other hand last forever. They do not have a sell-by-date and more importantly (as far as they are concerned) they are re-usable.
haha good point wallbright, one way or another she will find a way to point it out and nag about it constantly!
All of the above is totally true!
I tell Laura that she is my favorite person in the whole world ... and that she is the biggest pain in the ass in the whole world too. She laughs and rolls her eyes.

im going through this right now. i've enjoyed cigars since 1991, pipes since 1996 and only met her (not even dated, really) in 2006. we live together now, and i don't even get to do it in my own living room anymore.
i have a full humidor and maybe smoke 3 times a month. including cigars. if i smoke 10 times in a month, that's a rarity. and she's going insane.
yet, i can tell that this is going to be a big issue very soon. possibly tonight.

...As a female I feel the need to say "Ouch!" However... I will refrain, because we are all basically manipulative, selfish, and don't care about the male disposition. ((Penguin says I am broken, but the truth is I just have him fooled! buhahaha!))
I will say this though, you should definitely sit down and really talk it over (now that you guys are giving it another go). I was originally going to reiterate the fact that if $95 dollars made her up and split, then there was an underlying cause, but it seems like she told you that as well. You may want to do some research and present her with some of the studies that say Pipe smoking can actually help you live longer.
Perhaps use the shock and awe tactic that The Beau used with me when he first started buying pipes.... show her the $1000+ pipes that look like they belong in a frickin museum box... and then remind her that $95 is actually a damn good deal.((In a much nicer and sweeter way of course, cause tact is not my strong point))
There are far worse habits you could have than smoking pipes.
And, of course, promise to go to the doctors.
Hope it all works out for the best!

Hey wallbright,
red pointed this post out to me and asked if I could pull up some of the information I showed her when she got worried about me smoking my pipes.

this last link is an excerpt from The Cancer Prevention Study II about pipe exclusive smoking. It should be taken with a grain of salt as with the original study many assumptions and biases have greatly muddied the waters. I would recommend reading the other links first and if you feel up it read the lcolby.com from chapter 1 before trying to make sense of this report. http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/96/11/853.full.pdf
Hope this helps a bit.

lol red, i used to use that tactic with my parents. I houndedthem to let me buy a dirtbike off ebay for over a grand. when they said no i asked if i could at least use my own birthday money to buy a less expensive and less dangerous paintball gun. worked like a charm.
