caliproctor,
when you say "prepared" I am assuming you mean prepared for the withdrawal symptoms making sure you had carrot sticks around to chomp on....(as an example).
I'd say it is kind of like asking for directions.....that would mean they need some sort of help. and a good majority of men never need any help or assistance as we all know...... :)
Be patient, sometimes quiting will hit men harder then woman due to the emotional feelings that pop up. and generally men don't have a lot of experience dealing with that, while we get practice once a month! When my boyfriend quit I said he was having his first bout with PMS. His PMS peaked around day 3 & 4, and really got bad days 7-10. I ignored him, got out of the house, and found activities to make myself happy. One thing I did.... I went out for a few hours on my own and left the child and the puppy with him for a while. When I returned he much nicer to me. I suppose he decided I was easier to deal with, or he was just happy to be relieved of his duty! Either way I loved the look on his face when I told him I was going out for a while.....(I have a little evil side) He is back to normal for the most part. This too shall pass!
