Talked about the baby/cake issue last night. I told him that I felt that he was being overly considerate, and that it felt like he was pushing us into a dark corner. He responded that we had people coming long distance from 4 different directions, and that he was very concerned with everything going smoothly. He said that he felt justified in being concerned. He called me first because he knew I had been to the restaurant before and would have a better guage as to what was acceptable there. After that talk, I adjusted my perception a bit and felt that I may have overreacted on Friday. Good thing I didn't bust out then.
We discussed testosterone therapy yesterday. I asked him if he would be willing to consider it because what I've been reading indicates that he might benefit greatly from it. Not just with libido, but with energy, motivation, and an increased general interest in life. He said that he is willing, but is depressed about what it will require: the "gauntlet of doctors" (back to the family doc for an updated blood screen and referral, then to the specialist, then a follow-up to the specialist and so on until his levels are up to normal), because of the cost, and because it will be on our insurance (as discussed before in a prior post). He looked depressed, as if someone took his TV, chips, and hummus away. I left it at that.
