“I had laser done on my face today, something I wanted to do for ages”
Wow we are allot alike. I had this bad tooth in front that was damaged in the car accident I had years ago. It was all Brown. It bothered me but I always let the family (and wife) come first. But a while back as part of my “Galing” I decided to get it fixed. (This was before I lost my job)...
“The control freak mask, the realistic, pragmatic, cynical approach” Ok now you are talking about my Wife….
“H and I had another "fight" on the phone. About how did I choose this doc for my skin?”
I don’t understand your H. There is no way I would tell my W what doctor to see. (Like she would listen to me anyway). But the point is I would want her to feel comfortable with whatever doctor she was seeing for whatever reason. You are talking about your body here. If you went to a doctor that you were not comfortable with there is a possibility that you would leave things out and not discuss them if there was a problem,
I sure hope things go good with both your dad and your marriage. I have been at it a little longer than you and I know all of the ups and downs. During the last two years along with the Bomb both my mother and my MIL were hospitalized for a while. Heck even I was put in the hospital with a double hernia. That seems like a long time ago and I have grown but (and I think I posted it here back then) I was actually afraid to put my wife’s name down on the form before surgery designating her to decide if something went wrong to pull “the plug”. That is how bad off I was. But I have evolved, Grown... In GALing in the beginning I faked it. I went out and pretended to have a good time and it was not working. It frustrated me. What I had to do was actually Get A Life. IT’s hard when you have been married for so long you consider your spouse like a part of your body... But I am there I did it… The other part “Act as if” does not work. You can’t “Act” you have to become a person that actually thinks “As IF”... I think you are there. You can’t let your life revolve around your husband’s schedule (Within reason). You can’t really expect anything from him. Not just say you don’t expect anything.
Take care Kalni.. This is “Our year” Don’t stop believing….

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
