So, a bit of background to this. I currently live with my girlfriend and she's expecting our daughter in a couple of months. So before I get into it, I KNOW smoking is bad for me and a baby (not to mention anyone else) so spare me the lecture, I'm not an idiot - I don't smoke indoors and I always use peppermint oil to mask the smell (trust me, it does mask it, my girfriend has admitted it) so I'm not an intrusive smoker. I'm respectful and I try not to let this affect anyone else's life. She's mentioned previously that this is NOT an issue in the relationship one little bit. We regularly joke that I'm almost a 'secret smoke' as I often completely disappear, have a cig and then come back smelling of peppermint. 

Anyway, I normally come home from work at about 7pm and need to have a cigarette after a stressful day, it helps me relax. My girlfriend knows my routine and she goes about this unaffected normally. 

Today however, she gives me a hug as normal when I get in and, without me knowing, goes into my pocket and steals the cigarette packet out of my jacket pocket. I'm a man of habit so they're always in the same pocket. She goes into the bedroom and I pour myself a drink of water in the kitchen. 

Anyway, I reach into my pocket so that I can get a cigarette out and go for a smoke. Of course, I couldn't find them. I KNEW they were there when I was walking from my train as I always check whenever I get off the train and do the 'four pocket tap': phone, wallet, keys and cigarettes. Next minute, my gf comes down with a wry smile on her face and says "you'll have to find them". 

At this point I get pissed, in the infancy of our relationship, she used to do this ALL THE TIME but after many times of telling her that it wasn't funny because it stresses me out, she stopped. However, for whatever reason she decided it would be funny to do today. No idea why. 

Now, I'm visibly getting stressed and I go upstairs to try and find them and couldn't. Obviously I'm mad at this point because I hate people ruining my routine, even little things like this (I know it's stupid, but she knows this). I see her phone on the bed side table and hide it on the top of my wardrobe (out of her reach). She eventually comes upstairs for her phone. She asks if I've seen it and this is how the convo goes: 

Me: yeah I've seen it. I'll tell you where it is when you tell me where my cigarettes are. 

Her: That's so childish. Just give me my phone. 

Me: Not until you give me my cigarettes. You know full well I hate it when you hide them. I've had this issue with you before. So I'm taking something YOU'RE  addicted to until you give me them back. 

Her: You're a fucking horrible, spiteful person. 

Me: No, you're just being a childish bitch. Just tell me where they are and you can have your phone. 

Anyway, eventually she tells me where they are (they're in her top drawer of her bedside cabinet - which I NEVER go in). I give her her phone back and to me, the issue is resolved. However, she keeps saying how much of an arsehole (asshole) I am and won't let it go...so AITA? 


TL;DR Gf stole my cigarettes and hid them when she knows I normally go for one, so I hid her phone until she told me where they were. To me, the issue was resolved but she keeps telling me I'm an arsehole.
