I have been together with my girlfriend for about a year now, and it has become clear that our attitudes towards life are very different.
She smokes, is a bit overweight, often eats fat/unhealthy food and never exercises. I am the complete opposite. She feels that life should be enjoyed to the fullest and that you shouldn't worry about the future. I however think that you can try to be healthy while still enjoying life.
I know that she will probably die prematurely, which worries me alot; I want to grow old with her!
Also I can't understand that she doesn't make an honest effort to quit smoking. If she really loves me, I think she should at least be able to do it for me, because she knows how I feel.
Still, I know that it is her life and that she should be allowed to choose by herself how she want to live.
I love her more than I ever thought possible, but I don't know if I can stand the pain I feel every time she lights a cigarette.
I don't want to leave her, but I can't go on like this. Are our attitudes towards life too different? Perhaps the problem is all mine, and I should see a psychiatrist?
