And the fact that you've written those words does not scare you???
To be clear, I still do not know that Brian's wife understood that during his second hospitalization there was a significant chance of him dying. I also did not hear him ask for her to come home to him.
What about my true story of a man who went Elk hunting against his wife's wishes with the birth of their baby impending? A completely frivolous trip when his wife would be going into labor and with any birth there is always a risk of complications. She had her parents, friends, etc. there and was not alone. No woman I have told that story to (granted my friends are are relatively "normal" women:)) has expressed outrage, concern about the state of their marriage, etc. We just say, "Not the wisest or best decision" but "oh well."
I think you would be surprised that many women are much more pragmatic about things. Your 2bx is seriously nuts but that does not mean that most women are!!
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? ~Albert Camus
